Hello,
    Got a question on quotas. I've enabled them on /usr and /var filesystems
by adding the userquota option to their options in fstab. This is after i
recompiled my kernel with the QUOTA option in it and rebooted. I then added:
enable_quotas="YES"
check_quotas="NO"
to /etc/rc.conf and again rebooted. According to the handbook quota files
should be created automatically i don't have to touch any zero-length quota
files. When the system came back up i checked /usr and /var for quota user
files, i did not see them. Boot up messages indicate quota on /usr but again
no quota file. Is this normal? Did i miss something?
Thanks.
Dave.
