You need to run quotacheck(8) to initialise the quota.user and/or quota.group files -- that should happen automatically when you reboot, or you can run it manually by: # quotacheck -v -a That may take some time to run, and there shouldn't be any activity on the filesystem while it is being checked -- best way to ensure that is to drop to single user mode while you run it. Having done that, what's the output of: % repquota /usr To set up the quota limits for each user use edquota(1).
