quota-fix patch fixes some bugs in quota code - fixes race between ext2 preallocation and chgrp (might be exploitable) fixes race in writing of message to console (some messages might be lost) make allocation of quota structures in memory fully dynamic (no more "No free dquots" messages)
quota-patch patch implements new quotafile format. It allows quota for 32-bit UID/GID root is no more special user allows counting of disk quota in bytes (used currently only in ReiserFS)
Note that to apply quota-patch you need to apply quota-fix first. Also you need to download new version of quota utilities if you want to use new quotafile format (ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/utils/quota-3.00-4.tar.gz).
If you apply quota-patch you will be able to use quota support in ReiserFS (you need also to apply quota patch for ReiserFS which should be available for test12 at their ftp soon).
