There were a few problems running quotas using the SGI RedHat 7.1 iso.
There is a patch for the kernel at
http://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0105/msg00246.html

and a patch for the repquota command at
http://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0105/msg00252.html

I have recompiled both SRPMS with the patches added and all is working
great. I won't post the patches and spec file here as they are quite
large, but drop me a note if you want me to make them available for
download.
