(home machine)
[driver@beavis ~]$ quota -v
Disk quotas for user driver (uid 501):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit
grace

[driver@beavis ~]$ uname -a
Linux beavis 2.4.18-beavis #1 Fri Jul 19 16:30:23 PDT 2002 i586 unknown
[driver@beavis ~]$ rpm -qa | grep quota
quota-3.01-0.5mdk
[driver@beavis ~]$ id

[driver@beavis ~]$
Note, I am running a custom built kernel. 2.4.18 + XFS patches. (no
other changes)
Note: at work quota works on mandrake 8.1 without any problems,
including over NFS.
