Thank you for your reply Valeri. But I am having trouble comprehending 
what your words are saying as related to the system configuration files.

I am working with RELEASE 12.0 and quotas is included in the delivered 
kernel so need to compile the quota option into the kernel.

I used bsdinstall to install the system from scratch and selected to use 
the whole hard drive as a single partition. I manually added 
quota_enable="YES" to the rc.conf file and rebooted. In the boot 
messages I see message that quote started normally.

My jail is a directory tree type at path /usr/jails/jailname and I can 
start and stop that jail using the jail command with no problems.

My goal is for the jail users to issue the quota commands to check on 
how much space they have used of the allowed space.

The man jail documentation says the path /usr/jails/jailname is called a 
filesystem. I this the same thing you are calling a filesystem?

An excerpt of the configuration statements and the name of the files 
they go in would sure be helpful in understanding how you have your jail 
quota environment setup.

Thanks in advance for any help.
