[Regression Potential]
* This patch is already in upstream quota and debian quota 4.01-1.

Guys this is a real problem since Users Home directories are on centralized storage, sometimes applications or compilations fail due to quota limits. The enduser has no way of verifying prior to activity if there is enough space.

I'm seeing this issue as well when trying to get user home directory quotas for NFS home directories.

Seems to be an upstream bug that's already been fixed. If I build quota 4.01-1 from Debian Sid on Precise, it works properly.

And here's the upstream commit that fixes it:

http://linuxquota.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linuxquota/linuxquota;a=commit;h=8b6ce13e1b196cb9d0cc5b24dfc75c97a9eb883d

Patch applies cleanly 4.00-3 and resolves the NFS quota issue.

Can we please get this SRUed for Precise?

summary:

- quota returns nothing on 12.04
+ quota returns nothing for NFS on 12.04

Is this patched package coming to precise any time soon? As the guts of the patch is a one line removal,
I've built a "4.00-3 with a patch" package for my own use, seems to work fine.

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted quota into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quota/4.00-3ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
