Well, I'm running RELENG_6 SMP system with this patch since september
2007 (last updated 2008-02-08), and I haven't seen any quota-related
problem. Quota-enabled partition is 60 GB UFS2 containing 25,000+
customers' home directories with Maildir-style mailboxes and surviving
100,000+ deliveries (file creations) and approximately the same number
of retrievals (file deletions) each day.

mail:~# df -i /disk1

mail:~# mount
/dev/da1s1d on /disk1 (ufs, local, noexec, nosuid, with quotas, soft-updates)

If I can run some specific (stress?) tests that might provide useful
information, let me know. Output of dmesg, vmstat, iostat, top, etc --
just ask.
