Yep. Looks really good!
Just a few comments---ignore at will:
By default the quota files are stored in the root of the file
system with the names ...
Maybe say ``... stored in the root directory of the file system ...''
For example, if the user has a hard limit of 500 blocks on a file
system and attempts to allocate 501 blocks, the allocation will
fail.
This makes it sound like the hard limit is on the allocation size and
not on use---meaning the user can do as many 500 block allocations he
wants and fill up the filesystem. Perhaps you could improve the
example by saying something like ``If the user has a hard limit of 500
blocks and is currently using 490 blocks, he can allocate only 10 more
blocks successfully. If s/he requests 11 blocks, the request will
fail. If s/he requests 10 blocks, the request will succeed. But any
further requests will fail.''
If a user stays over their soft limit longer than their grace
period ...
Pronoun number mismatch in `user' and `their.' Try saying ``if users
stay over their soft limits ...'' or ``if a user stays over his/her
soft limit ...''
you are placed into the vi editor to allow you to edit the quota
limits
This is probably over anal, but you're placed into the editor
specified by the EDITOR environment variable, or vi if there is no
EDITOR var.
Otherwise, the document's great! Maybe I'll enable quotas tonight to
annoy my wife :-)
