Subject: Why the quota don't take affect?
Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

Everybody:
    I read the FreeBSD FAQs from the site, then I limited the user's
disk size using "quota". But now find it doesn't work 
correctly. I used "repquota -a" to list the quota's information, and 
I found tow users had exceede the limit. I don't know what the "grace"
means. I'v recompiled the kernel and modified the /etc/sysconfig and
/etc/fstab. The FAQ told me, I must create the quotas files in the file
systems which I want to limit the disk usage, ie: /usr/admin/quotas. 
I want to know: I must create the directory "admin"? And how to create 
the quotas file -- "touch" or something else?
    Any answer is appreciated!
