If i remember correctly you simply "touch quota.user" in root directory of the partition. Then add the "userquota" or "groupquota" in your /etc/fstab to the flags. And after a remount of the filesystem run a "quotacheck -v -a" on it. After that the quota.user or quota.group file has valid entries. And now you can manipulate the entries with "edquota". Read all the manual pages about these commands, how they are used exactly :-). Example: my /usr2 file system contains quota, so my /etc/fstab entry is: /dev/sd1a /usr2 ufs rw,userquota 1 3 and /usr2 has a /usr2/quota.user. To manipulate my own quota entry i use a "edquota ats" and land in an editor and can manipulte my quota as a super-user :-). One Word of Warning: you should only enable one filesystem with quotas on FreeBSD 2.0. Many people have reported problems with two or three filesystems and quotas enabled.
