Synopsis: [quotas] Disk quota does not work as expected

State-Changed-Why: 
I am unable to duplicate this problem.

I think this is an error on the submitters part.

The proper sequence of commands should have been:

quotacheck /home
quotaon /home
chown ....
repquota ...
du ...

The key step is running quotacheck before actually turning

That would explain all the fix ups quotacheck did later as
seen in the submitters follow up message.

Enabling quotas for /home in /etc/fstab makes sure that
quotacheck is run before enabling quotas for the file system at
boot time.
