To use quota under XFS you will need the following:
o An XFS aware kernel;
- o Quota must be enabled at the time the kernel is built
- (CONFIG_QUOTA, at the start of the Filesystems menu);
o XFS quota must be enabled at the time XFS is built
- (CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA, below XFS in the Filesystems menu);
+ (CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA, below XFS in the Filesystems menu) -
+ in older kernel versions this also required CONFIG_QUOTA
+ to be set, but this is no longer true;
o Userspace quota tools which are aware of XFS quota.
User tools which support XFS can be downloaded from the Linux
supported on Linux/XFS, as the concept of a project is specific to IRIX.
A filesystem that has used user quota on IRIX, however, can be migrated
to Linux, and vice-versa, as the ondisk format is shared between both
-versions of XFS (and Linux/XFS is "endian clean").
+versions of XFS (and Linux/XFS is "endian clean"). Group quota support
+is planned for a future release of IRIX, and the same level of ondisk
+compatibility will be available as for user quota, once this work has
+been completed.

+Have fun,
