OOPS! Hit enter too soon...

Client lustre version is lustre-client-2.7.2-2nasC_mofed32v1_3.0.101_77.1.20160630_nasa

Error to be resolved is:

 $ lfs quota .

This is confusing for users where there are several different file system types (particularly NFS and Lustre).

The "lfs" command should check the type of the file system and return a useful error message like "this command is only valid on Lustre file systems".
