weird quota issue

I've been running 2.4.9-31 kernel for awhile now..

while i was running this kernel, i frequently used quota stuff

meaning id add an account, run edquota -u username

and set their soft limit, and their hard limit

e.g if i want them to have a 6mb limit

id set their soft limit to : 5000
hard limit to : 6000

so thats that....

so last night i decided to upgrade to 2.4.19 kernel last night.

in the menu config

under File systems ---->
i checked Quota support (put a asterik)

compiled.... kernel booted fine.

2.4.19 #1 Sun Nov 3 02:52:14 EST 2002 i686 unknown
anyhow

i just did adduser dooba
edquota -u dooba

i set soft limit to 5000
hard limit to 6000

then i su'ed to that username, and wgetted a 60mb file, and it didnt even stop me at all

i'm confused. Is there something i missed?

bottom line:

ill add a user, set a quota for them, but it doesnt work...
the user can go past their limit
doesnt even say anything


suron:/usr/src/linux# dmesg | grep quota
VFS: Diskquotas version dquot_6.4.0 initialized

Anyone have any ideas.

If i can't get this to work then ill probably have to go back to 2.4.9 because having a working quota system is important.
