I don't know if this is the appropriate address to send this sort of thing to, but I wanted to suggest regarding the section of the FreeBSD Handbook concerning File System Quotas (16.14). In 16.14.1, when describing how to configure your system for quotas, it suggests setting" check_quotas" to "NO" in /etc/rc.conf for faster booting, but then later states that quota.groupand quota.user will automatically be created by /etc/rc when you reboot after setting up quotas. I think some mention should be made of the fact that if you set "check_quotas" to "NO", /etc/rc will NOT automatically create those files for you; that you should enable it for the first reboot, and can disable it after that. This seems to me to be an important distinction, as users might, as I did, think they should manually create those files, which can have unpredictable consequences. Let me know if I should send this suggestion to another address. Thanks, Andrewhelp
