[Linux-cluster] GFS2: quota file size not a multiple of struct gfs2_quota

[Abhijith Das]

Hi Anthony,

I just filed a RH bugzilla for this problem. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=536902
Could you please also post your compressed quota file to this 
bugzilla using the steps highlighted in the bug description?

Unfortunately, I haven't looked at this problem yet. I hope to 
pretty soon, though.

Thanks!
