No luck Pete.  With the aquota* files added at the / directory and even with
a reboot the quota file is not being found. Note the error

[root at euckevmrh /]# quotaon -av
quotaon: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/sda2] to turn quotas on/off.
quotaon: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/sda2] to turn quotas on/off.

I get the impression that the quota module is looking for the quota* files
in a location other than / even though / has a direct mount relation to
/dev/sda2.  In the past this was easy as I had a separate partition for /var
and /home.  I got tired of having to adjust partition sizes and so chose
just on massive partition.  Any other suggestions...this is really puzzling
me (like that all that hard....)

Thanks!
