weird quota issue

Odd fix but there you go.
1. I saw in earlier list mail to look at /proc/self/mounts. 
Indeed my /home was mounted there with the noquota option, even though the fstab clearly stated the quota user and project options. 
This persisted even if I dismounted and ran xfs_repair of the partition in question.

2. I rebooted with a forcefsck file. After the reboot/fsck, proc and fstab now match. Both list the partition with valid quota options.
