The quota tool still doesn't work as expected. I'm still thinking it has to do with that "if" statement because I don't see what else it could be...
Is there anyone running LM 8.2, all partitions XFS, msec level 5,
kernel-secure-2.4.18.8, or the normal kernel 2.4.18, etc... that has quota running the way expected (as a user)?
Thanks
