Is this possible? We have some transition requirements that would be greatly eased if we could fire up a quota tree under, say, /devtree at first, and then rename it to /tree once we roll the new filesystem into production.
Yes, it is. Just shut off quotas, "mv" the tree, change /etc/quotas, and restart quotas.
You may have some stale file handle issues on clients afterwards if there was an old tree with similarly named files in active use.
