Thanks Carlos.

In all the years that I have been using openSUSE I have never heard of 
this so this is a revelation to me (as many things are :-) ) .

BUT, this quota thing is NOT installed by default when one installs oS 
but has to be deliberately installed.

So I wonder how or why the OP happened to have it installed? I wonder if 
he will tell us.
