 Quota is enabled in fstab and rc.conf:
 
 /dev/ad0s2a /home ufs rw,userquota,groupquota 2 2
 quota_enable="YES"
 check_quotas="YES"
 
 I might do something fundamentally wrong but I can reproduce this on 2 
 machines (both 6.3-RELEASE). On both dovecot is active (Maildir is 
 /home/$USER/Maildir). Not sure if this is related.
