IIRC, you have to log into a root shell on the system and run quotacheck
on each partition you want quotas on before they will be active.  (A
reboot usually accomplishes the same thing;  IIRC quotacheck is run on
startup.)

Then you can remount the partition with quotas enabled.

Note that this is *much* easier to do in single-user mode.

I'm not aware of any filesystem types that support arbitrary
per-directory quotas;  that feature is one nice part of running Internet
services on a Novell server.
