Description Drees Dormann

It is possible to set a quota for root on / and /boot, it is not shown within the quota umc-module but it is visible on the filesystem and enforced.
Setting a quota for root on other drives or partitions is not possible.

This should not be possible since it can lead to severe problems

Quota settings for root don't seem to be enforced by the quota implementation in Linux. Limits for root can be set and appear in, for example, repquota but the hard limits never lead to root not being able to add files.
