You'll have to set up quotas again from scratch on the new partition
-- you can't make the quotas on the root partition extend to cover
/usr/home.  It may be possible to script copying the actual file and
byte limits from what you've setup on the root and copy them into
/usr/home.

Turning off quotas on the root partition is pretty simple -- just edit
/etc/fstab to take out the 'userquota' mount flags, remount the root
partition:

    # mount -u /

and then delete the quota.user file.

	Cheers,
