[gpfsug-discuss] fix mmrepquota report format during grace periods

All,

Could someone(s) from the GPFS team please:

1) see that the appropriate documentation gets updated (manuals, “-h” option to commands, the man pages for the commands, etc.)?
2) let us know what version of GPFS introduced the undocumented “-Y” option for mmrepquota and mmlsquota?

I’ve got numerous quota related scripts and I’m just curious to go back and figure out how much time I’ve wasted because I didn’t know about it.

These “unknown unknowns” bite us again…  ;-)
