If you are running Woody, I strongly suggest strictly and explicity using vfsold. I've had headaches with this in the past because without realising it, I had some tools using the new style and some using the old style. I don't know the differences between them, but I do know I couldn't get proper functionality with the new version. Here's what I did to get quotas working on Woody (this solution has been posted here before by me): 1) turn off any existing quotas with quotaoff 2) delete all quota files from each partition you're interested in (ie, 'rm /home/*quota.user') 3) run 'quotacheck -av -Fvfsold' to create new user quota files 4) turn quotas on with 'quotaon -av' 5) check your quotas with 'repquota -a | less' Worked for me. Of course, you'll need quota support in the kernel and a correctly configured /etc/fstab, you can get that info from a HOWTO.
