If you are talking about 2.0 , I'm afraid you are out of luck :(
The first really working QUOTAS are in 2.0.5Release. They
_do work 100%.

First compile the kernel with QUOTA defined
Boot new kernel
edit /etc/fstab to mark the partitions you want to QUOTA to
be on
Create empty files quota.[user|group] :
touch /u/u1/user.quota
in the corresponding partitions ( on the upper level
of directory structure)
Run quotacheck on those partitions:
quuotacheck /u/u1
so on ...
NOTICE:
I've mentioned that sometimes quotacheck -a ( for all
partitions marked to be with QUOTAs in /etc/fstba doesn't
work for some reason )
now ( finally ) run quotaon for those partitions to
switch the QUOTAs on:
quotaon /u/u1
so on ...

the way above is the way I go ...
The mileage may vary :)

PS !!!
The QUOTAs code doesn't lead to kernel locking ! -
albeit the premonition a few ppl here had ( me incl. :). Something
else causes the locking . Very interesting one BTW - the console
driver is alive ( you can switch the virtual screens from the
console) , the ping from remote sites works too , when one tries
telnet or ftp tp the hung host - it does say "connected" ,
but that's about it. You can't get anything else !
Any cure?
