Hey, X10 works well enough and you can still get X10 modules
and controllers. But you don't need any kernel support; just
need one little program. I still do this:
x10 switch printer on
<print print print>
x10 switch printer off
Besides, LonWorks is already pass\xe9 -- from what I hear the
latest hot thing is zigbee (but that was last month; surely a
new standard is afoot by now).
To bring this back on topic, perhaps John Kobuzik can just
use the zfs since it already has quota support? For example,
# zfs create z/foo
# zfs quota=10M z/foo
dd < /dev/zero bs=1M count=20 > /z/foo/xx
dd: stdout: Disc quota exceeded
11+0 records in
10+0 records out
10485760 bytes transferred in 4.718700 secs (2222171 bytes/sec)
# zfs set quota=10T z/foo
# zfs get quota z/foo
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
z/foo quota 10T local
