>Description:
             The stock GENERIC kernel does not have quotas enabled by default. An admin would need to add support for quotas to the kernel first before the other possible reasons for why the quotas are not working would apply.
>How-To-Repeat:
              
>Fix:
              Add the statement:

Before attempting to use disk quotas, it is necessary to make sure that quotas are configured in your kernel. This is done by adding the following line to your kernel configuration file:

options QUOTA

Also, you will need to enable disk quotas in /etc/rc.conf. This is done by adding the line:

enable_quotas="YES"
