# For the most part, quota should be OK with ReiserFS as your system is now.
# With older 2.4.x kernels you may need a patch.  Check here:
# ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/
# ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/reiserfs/quota-2.4/
# and make sure you have a recent version of quota-tools installed.

# If you ever want to uninstall reiserfsprogs, this should do it:
# (note: an older version had an 'unpack', but due to the common name I
# won't try to remove it here)
