quotas and reiserfs

Looks like this is still an issue. Switching to /etc/mtab appears to have fixed it for me as well. On checking the contents of the files, fstab doesn't actually include the usrquota & grpquota options. However, this is on a Virtuozzo hosted machine, so fstab is actually a link to /proc/mounts (I was instructed to set this to enable quotas), and I can't / don't need to deal with creating or editing mounts, so is there any problem with using mtab?

root@vps02:/etc# ll mtab fstab lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Nov 20 08:02 fstab -> /proc/mounts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 252 Nov 18 14:07 mtab

root@vps02:/etc# cat mtab /dev/vzfs / reiserfs rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw 0 0 tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw 0 0 tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw 0 0
