Hmm... that doesn't match my experiences here...

[phoenix:joe] $ uname -r
2.4.20-rc3

[phoenix:joe] $ mount | grep exported
/dev/md7 on /exported type ext3 (rw,usrquota)

[phoenix:joe] $ df -h | grep expor
/dev/md7 147G 98G 41G 70% /exported

[phoenix:joe] $ df -ih | grep expor
/dev/md7 19M 844k 17M 5% /exported

This is a fairly heavily loaded NFS server (load > 10 is not uncommon).

I have seen no lockups so far. Should I be worried ?

It uses the old quota format - could that be why it's ok ?
