Hello,

I have XFS quota enabled and mounted /mnt/data. But inside the docker allocator container log I can see:

```
[2017-03-14 09:18:20,368][WARN][no.found.runner.managers.XFSQuotaManager] Command [[sudo, -n, xfs_quota, -x, -c, project -s -p /mnt/data/elastic/saaa/services/allocator/containers/elasticsearch/681dd6f166b84df9b959838fbb62a669/instance-0000000000 13759, /mnt/data]] returned status code [0]] with output: [E: [xfs_quota: cannot setup path for mount /mnt/data: No such device or address]] {}

```

The xfs\_quota command is not working inside the docker container. If i try this command in the host I get:

```
Setting up project ...
Processed 1 (/etc/projects and cmdline) paths for project 13759 with recursion depth infinite (-1).

```

OS: RHEL 7.3

Maybe this is related to the following entry in "Limitations and Known Problems":

- Disk space quotas might not work as expected and are not supported in current releases.

@vb4t,

Yes, there currently is a limitation around disk quotas. This should get resolved in a future release.
