[comp.sys.sun] quota option in mount

Yes.  Pipe the output of "mount" to

	egrep -v "WARNING unknown options quota"

Quotas really do work in 4.0; they just provoke some noise from "mount".
Quotas are NOT turned on by "mount", they are turned on by "quotaon";
"quotaon" does handle the "quota" option.  "quotaon" also updates
"/etc/mtab" so that "mount -p" should show that quotas are on.

Actually, it is working, mount just doesn't recognize the "quota" option
by the quotas software needs to have that option on the line in fstab. At
least that's how it behaves on my Sun 386is. Every reboot I get the
warning message but the quota system still runs like a champ.
