Just for the sake of argument, lets go through the steps 1 by 1 and makes sure we're at the same place. 1. Compiled a new kernel and installed it with "options QUOTA" in the config file? 2. Added "enable_quotas=YES" in /etc/rc.conf? 3. Added "check_quotas=YES" in /etc/rc.conf? 4. Added userquota and/or groupqouta to the device line in /etc/fstab? ( I see you did that but I'm going through all the steps. ) AHH, I see one problem. Your fstab. Don't put spaces between the options and I'll bet that's your problem. # Device Mountpoint Fstype Options Dump Pass# /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1e /usr ufs rw,userquota,groupquota 2 2 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 If this is something stupid your mailer did, than I'll move on. 5. Restart. Now, if the above 5 steps aren't working try the following (as root) quotaon /usr quotacheck -v /usr If it still doesn't work, report back. BTW, the quota.user and quota.group files are not in "/root" they are in the ROOT of the partition where the quotas are enabled. In your case /usr directory is the root of that partition.
