Yes, there's a the quoatctl system call and a few handlers, of which
the current quota implementation is different. We currently have the
semi-generionc 'dquot' implementation used by extN, reiserfs and ocfs2,
the xfs implementation and the gfs2 implementation. We also used to
have some stubs in cifs, but they never became an actually useful
implementation.
So selecting QUOTACTL by XFS, GFS2 and QUOTA (which is a bit misnamed)
would be correct.
