Modified Files:
src/share/man/man4: options.4
Log Message:
Revise documentation of QUOTA and QUOTA2 options to make it clear that
these are FFS options. (QUOTA2 also works with mfs. AFAIK, traditional
quotas don't.)
Don't refer to QUOTA2 as "the new quotas format" as "new" is not a
good long-term identifier.
Also, don't xref half the quota utilities; there's no need to.
