Do you have any idea of what will be the configuration directives (in
cluster.conf?) to deal with that daemon?

I'll try as soon as i can, cause right now, the only thing i do is
quotaon after the device is mounted and quotaoff before the device is

to make it conditionnal depending if the user specified quota in
$mount_options).
