About QUOTA support in stock kernel (resent)

[Patrick Dung]

Hi,

I would like to know why quota is not enabled in the stock kernel..

I remembered that it is not enabled since freebsd 3.5 or freebsd 4 generation.
Now in freebsd 9.0, it still neeed a kernel rebuild.

I have heard it has performance issue (GIANT lock) about quota.

Regards,
Patrick
