This is from a Debian stable machine, with xfsprogs 2.6.20. :) I'm more
than happy to be proven wrong.

On IRIX, XFS supports project quota. This is not (ever) likely to be
supported on Linux/XFS, as the concept of a project is specific to IRIX.
A filesystem that has used user quota on IRIX, however, can be migrated
to Linux, and vice-versa, as the ondisk format is shared between both
versions of XFS (and Linux/XFS is "endian clean"). Group quota support
has been implemented only in more recent versions of IRIX 6.5f, and the
same level of ondisk compatibility is now available as for user quota.

Have fun,
