My original question:
I a running DU 4.0B on an AlphaServer 1000A.

I have set up a AdvFS domain with several filesets. Upon boot, the
showfsets command shows that the group and user quotas are off.
                Quota Status : user=off group=off
How do I have quota on upon boot? My fstab entry looks like:
users_domain#staff /usr/users/staff advfs rq,userquota,groupquota 0 2

After boot the quotaon -a command will turn the quotas on.

The answer:
It seeems I was missing the last step in setting up quotas on filesets:

Look at the line QUOTA_CONFIG in your /etc/rc.config file.
If there is nothing, type :
        rcmgr set QUOTA_CONFIG yes
        /sbin/init.d/quota start

Stephane warns: Becareful, there is a bug with comman quotacheck -a.
In DU 4.0B (v 564), there is a bug in quotacheck -a command.
So you can comment it in /sbin/init.d/quota file.
If necessary, you can make a quotacheck for each file system ( this command is
OK )but it is not necessary to make this each time you reboot.
