Thanks Bryan,

I tried msec level 3, and it didn't work. I have the same setup as you with the exception of the custom built kernel+XFS patches.
Yet, I still get the
<<
Disk quotas for user XXX (uid XXXX): none
>>

for "quota" and all zeros for "quota -v". Frustrating, to say the least. I don't know where to start to fix it.

I also had posted another thread with thess links:

Do you think they might have anything to do with quota not working on my system?
