Doug, i think you were the one inquiring about 'kludges' to working 
around a perceived issue with quota support in 2.4.x kernels?  If so, 
this appeared on the LKML about 2 weeks ago:

Ken Brownfield very much wanted to use journalling on his 2 terabyte 
disk array. But he also needed to use quotas, and wasn't sure if they 
worked with either ext3 or reiserfs. He asked if those filesystems would 
support quotas well enough to handle a production environment. Luigi 
Genoni replied, "I am using quota with reiserFS and quota tool 3.04 from 
slackware-current, and no problems at all (kernel 2.4.18)." And Andreas 
Dilger added, "If you have a RH kernel (or any other -ac kernel) you 
will get 32-bit UID support for quotas."
