I don't know if quotas are broken in general but I was never able
to get them work. I tried both compile options, --with-quotas and
--with-sys-quotas

I only use user quotas.

Samba take care of quota restrictions. Users can't write more data
than allowed by quotas.
But clients don't show used space and free space correctly.
It shows complete disk usage and complete free space
instead of space used by user and max. space allowed by quotas

Thank you for your tip. I don't know much about
shell programming with tail, cat, awk, ....
I set soft and hard quota to the same value.

> But I digress. What did you think was wrong with quotas in samba?
Thats the reason I've written it seems broken for me and not in general.
I don't know why it's exactly not working.

I don't know why they don't work for me.
I use Suse 8.2 standard installtion with all updates.
filesystem is XFS.
Samba is 3.0.3, self compiled.
Quotas are working fine but not in samba.

I've atached quota relevant parts of config.log.
I would be glad if you find an error in my configuration.
