It should: sonic@joshua:/usr/home/sonic$ dmesg -a |grep -ir quota Checking quotas: Enabling quotas: Please check your rc.conf. You have these lines: [root@mvt ~]# cat /etc/rc.conf | grep quota quota_enable="YES" check_quotas="YES" While you should have: enable_quotas="YES" check_quotas="YES" It is, actually, the reverse of the usual <servicename>_enable entry! Have a look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf and you will see this.
