I'd also recommend reading cmd/xfsprogs/doc/README.quota from
the cvs tree, it answers some of your questions..

no, XFS does not use these files.  the README.quota file has some
more info on this.

can you give some more details here - e.g. exact mount option for /var
("-o grpquota"?  "-o quota" is equivalent to "-o usrquota", so perhaps
thats the problem -- "-o usrquota,grpquota" gives both), and any error
messages you're seeing from edquota?  or are you using setquota?

cheers.
