Granted that I have never used quotas, so it is possible that I
am incorrect.  However, my understanding is that yes, you do need
data-journaled quota files to ensure that your quota tables don't miss
some operations after a crash.  However, you can separately select
data journaling for files in ext3 (via chattr), even if the rest of
the filesystem is using data=ordered (the default).
