yes. sorry for not mentioning it.

well. it's mounted and usrquota is turned on.
here's my /etc/mtab
/dev/hda2 / ext2 rw,usrquota,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hda5 /usr ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows/C vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0002 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /windows/D vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0002 0 0
/dev/hda6 /windows/E vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0002 0 0
on a different system I installed the 2.4.20ctx-17 kernel + quota/vquota patches
and basic quota in the hostsystem seems to work fine. I think I'll just stick
with this for the moment.
maybe it's something about the kernel version.
