This patch is for 2.4.18+ kernel with Jan Kara's new Quota code
(for example SGI's XFS Kernel - both the official split patches and CVS)

*** Kernels without Jan Kara's new Quota patches applied only need the
standard LVM linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch ***

For more information:

The new 2.4.x Quota code by Jan Kara can be found here:
Kernel patches:
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/v2.4/
Userspace tools:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota/

This is against 2.4.18-xfs + lvm 1.0.4 or lvm 1.1rc1 but is relevent to
_any_ 2.4.18+ Kernel that has Jan Kara's new Quota patches applied; until
Jan Kara's new Quota code is accepted by Marcelo into the 2.4.x mainline
kernel tree.
