Project quotas: support of symlinks?

As of today there is no way to "open" a symlink to change the projid. What the above patch proposes is to recreate the symlink with the correct projid, and then rename it on top of the old one.</p> <p>That should be atomic (i.e. no chance some user/app cannot find the symlink), and solves the issue of symlinks having the wrong projid.</p> <p>Oh that sounds good, thanks for the pointer! It's nice that it can be done in an atomic way.</p> <p>Also wanted to clarify that it's only a problem for already existing symlinks, as we confirmed that newly created symlinks in a directory (that has the inherit attribute set) are properly accounted for.</p> <p>This is being addressed under <a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-11872" title="Request for option not to follow symlink when setting project ID" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="LU-11872"><del>LU-11872</del></a>.</p> Related LU-11872 Development Rank 1|i00p4f: Rank (Obsolete) 9223372036854775807 Severity
