Hello.
When looking into quota code I found out that endianity isn't the only architecture dependent part of files. The struct dqblk - the on-disk structure uses type time_t. This type is defined as long on every architecture so in fact the *lenght* of structure is architecture dependent (not mentioning the eventual padding). So I think it won't be possible to make files architecture independent without having to change file format (and so have to force users to convert their quota files)...
Honza.
