Hi Vas, please, take a min to post step by step what you do to set quotas.

Anyway, probably you forget to create the aquota files with the quotacheck like here:

quotacheck -f FILE_SYSTEM

And then, set quotas with:

setquota -u USERNAME block-softlimit> <block-hardlimit> <inode-softlimit> <inode-hardlimit> FILE_SYSTEM
