[Gluster-users] Question about the quota xattrs

I've noticed a difference in the trusted.glusterfs.quota.size field.  I 
am using this field instead of the quota list command because it's super 
fast and doesn't hang occasionally like the command can.

In 3.6 it looks like this:
trusted.glusterfs.quota.size=0x0000000000000000

In 3.7 it looks like this:
trusted.glusterfs.quota.size=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003

I dumped these fields with:
getfattr -d -m . -e hex /mnt/brick1

The field in 3.6 is easy to decode as a hex number.  In 3.7 however the 
field appears to be too long or base64 encoded.  Does anyone know what 
happened here?
