No, if I add "noquota", disk quotas are only enabled in 'accounting'
mode, not in 'enforced' mode.

I removed the "noquota" mount option from '/etc/fstab' and
applied the attached patch to the cron.daily job.

Please modify the cron.daily job in the Debian package (with
this patch).

Rationale:

If "$run_warnquota" is "true", then the system administrator wants
warnquota to run.
There's no point in checking that the string "quota" is found
somewhere in a non-comment line of '/etc/fstab'.
Especially taking into account that the absence of "quota" in
'/etc/fstab' does not necessarily mean that no filesystem
has quotas... There could be filesystems with the "quota" feature
enabled (those filesystems do not need any quota mount option!).


Please fix this bug once and for all.
Thanks for your time and dedication!
