o  The options are not listed in /proc/mounts
   IIRC they should before quota is switched on (can't check that right
                                                 now though)
o  quotacheck gives this: 
   # quotacheck /dev/hda3
   quotacheck: Can't stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory
o  quotaon gives this:
   # quotaon -ugv /www
   quotaon: Can't stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory

I don't have /dev/root on any of my systems, so I don't understand the
error.

I tried both debian quota tools, and fresh ones from sourceforge:
# quota -V
Quota utilities version 3.08.

Yes :-)

On a system where quota does not work either (due to missing patches:
2.4.21-pre4-ac4):
# mount
/dev/md1 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota)

On the system I compiled the last kernel for (2.4.21-pre5-ac2):
# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

For some reason, the mount options are not listed.
