  Ah, not many people seem to use quotaon(8) with XFS :). The fact that we
turned off both enforcement and accounting was originally intended I think
(Nathan Scott wrote the code) but I agree with you that it makes more sence
to turn off just enforcement as is stated in the manpage. The check in
quotaon.c:newstate() was buggy and worked only by luck for XFS. After I
fixed error checking of kern_quota_on the check stopped working...
  I have now committed changes to quota-tools and checked that quotaon now
works reasonably with XFS so it should be cleaned up hopefully.
