My idea was to enforce limits that were defined in the root quota regardless
of whether there was a specifically defined quota or not.  I thought when
accounting was active, and a user wrote to that filesystem, the file was
accounted for (xfs_dquot_t created).  If enforcement was active, then the
system checked for the limits and if they were > 0, then they were enforced.
Is an xfs_dquot_t only created when limits are set?
