Summary:                    mount does not support usrquota/grpquota options
Description: 
we are trying to get quota working on a reiserfs filesystem created on an
md raid device /dev/md0. However, when issuing a mount command to mount
the device with the usrquota/grpquota options, the following error message
is returned:

mount /dev/md0
mount: Mounting /dev/md0 on /mnt/data failed: Invalid argument

this when using the following fstab entry:

/dev/md0   /mnt/data    reiserfs  usrquota,grpquota,noauto,noatime       
1 2

when mounting without using fstab but by forcing the options on
commandline, the command succeeds:

~ # mount -t reiserfs -o usrquota,grpquota,noatime /dev/md0 /mnt/data
~ # mount
/dev/md0 on /mnt/data type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

~ # quotaon -vug /mnt/data
/dev/md0 [/mnt/data]: group quotas turned on
/dev/md0 [/mnt/data]: user quotas turned on

HOWEVER, quotas aren't really enabled, users can do whatever they want
with the drive, no limits is imposed.

When using util-linux's mount, everything works without any problems, by
using the same commands as stated above, so this has to be an issue with
busybox's mount.

Just added additional -vv output support to mount.
With it, I see the following:

# mount -vv /dev/sda6 tmp -o usrquota
mount: mount('/dev/sda6','tmp','reiserfs',0x00008000,'usrquota'):0

So, "usrquota" is indeed passed to kernel. We did our part. Why quota
isn't actually working for you - that's another question.

If you can get additional info - for example, how util-linux's mount()
call
exactly looks like? (Not mount command, but mount() call done inside it).
Is it different from what we do? How?

Strace here doesn't help enough, you will need to build util-linux from
source,
find mount(...) call and add debug printout like this:

        rc = mount(source, target, filesystemtype, mountflags, data);
+       printf("mount('%s','%s','%s',0x%08lx,'%s'):%d\n",
+                               source, target, filesystemtype,
+                               mountflags, (char*)data, rc);
