>    I have seen kernel source about quota and try it. I think you are right.  But current quota_v1
> and quota_v2 detection has problem. In kernel source, I disable CONFIG_QFMT_V2 and enable CONFIG_QFMT_V1
> ,then I found ltp still detects quotav2 instead of quotav1,  and run ./quotactl01, the following error occurs:
LTP detection in ltp-quota.m4 defines _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION for detection.
I guess you'd have to define HAVE_QUOTAV1 and undefine HAVE_QUOTAV2 in in
include/config.h, but not tested.

BTW _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION was removed from glibc in 2.25 [1] [2], which based setup
on <linux/quota.h>. And musl defines only _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION 2.

Regards man info that v1 is from kernel v2.4.22 we should probably also remove
it's support.

We got a bit away from libcap :).

Kind regards,
Petr
