I just wanted to create a new container and saw that I now have ACL and quota options. Is there a wiki page or maybe some forum post explaining their usage?

I'm just curious what the purpose of ACLs is as in how they are meant to be used and I was eagerly awaiting the quota feature but am at a loss as to find any instructions.
 
Documentation is still on the todo list. ACLs are just the usual posix access control lists everybody knows and loves and never uses ;-) but sometimes people want/need to disable them for some reason.
As for quotas, this simply passes the `usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0` mount options to ext4 based storages.
This is used with quota tools the way you'd do it on a normal linux machine, too. (Initialize with `quotacheck -cmug /`, enable with `quotaon /` and edit with `edquota`.
