While (as a btrfs user not dev) I don't use qgroups here, AFAIK, they have known bugs ATM and are not considered ready for primetime. Among other infamous current bugs, deleting subvolumes with qgroups enabled can lead to negative quotas as that bit simply isn't managed properly at all! At this point, therefore, I'd not only not recommend depending on qgroups at all, I'd recommend not even trying to test them unless you're actively working on the currently known bugs, as there's simply too much /known/ wrong with them ATM to sanely test, unless you're close enough to development to know what's a known bug that they're already working on fixing and what's not. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
