Hello list.

The Handbook  (FreeBSD 9.2) contains bug for "18.13.1. Configuring the
System to Enable Disk Quotas".

...

Before using disk quotas, quota support must be added to the kernel by
adding the following line to the kernel configuration file:

options QUOTA

The GENERIC kernel does not have this enabled by default, so a custom
kernel must be compiled in order to use disk quotas....

..


But:

Quota support is by default in GENERIC.

options         UFS_GJOURNAL            # Enable gjournal-based UFS journaling
options         QUOTA                   # Enable disk quotas for UFS
options         MD_ROOT                 # MD is a potential root device
