[BlueOnyx:18650] Re: 5201R tarball installer

[Ernie]

Hi Michael,
the quota stuff is easy, you make the /home partition a Zvol, which appears
as an emulated block device, then format it ext3 with the normal quota entry in /etc/fstab

You need a Zvol anyway for ZFS snapshots (fast) that are used for the periodic
remote sync scrypt. Zvols give me a rollback capability too and other cool tricks.
