Q: QUOTA has gone crazy under 4.0E

Dear Gurus,

Me again ... after my upgrading from 4.0B to 4.0E I experience problems
with user quotas.

- there are 2 file systems in /etc/fstab with a line such as:

   /dev/rz2a /cgm ufs rw,userquota 1 2

- the line quota_config="yes" does exist in /etc/rc.config

- the line "options QUOTA" does exist in /sys/conf/MYMACHINE

Now, the command "quota -u somebody" reports a stupid blocks usage, much
too small. For example, quota reports a 124 blocks usage when du -k
gives 281,347 !!

I've done a "quotacheck -a" followed by a "quotaon -a" but to no avail.

Is this another 4.0E bug? Should I go to 4.0F rather than apply tons of
messy patches? Do I miss something?

Thanks for your help,

Jean-Loup
