The quotaon command depends on seeing the usrquota flag, so I'm not sure how you would enforce quotas without the flag. > >> I'm pretty sure I did a "mount -o remount,usrquota" on another machine > >> some time before and it didn't crash, however it also added nointegrity > >> flag along with usrquota. > > > > nointegrity is generally not a good idea. > > I know, that's why I'm trying to have both usrquota + integrity, but > apparently they don't play along - when I set usrquota it also sets > nointegrity along with it :( That is really weird. I haven't seen that. No matter what combination of mount flags I use, I don't see the nointegrity flag being set.
