I just looked at that handler and it's pretty straightforward. Not much
that can go wrong there. If you did grow the /home partition to a larger
size, then it could be that there is some conflicting info in the system
quota database that won't let you assign more space to a group than the
partition originally had. I'm not entirely sure about this, though.

If this is the case, then it can probably fixed this way:

First turn off quota:
/sbin/quotaoff -ug /home/

Then remove quota database
rm /home/aquota.user
rm /home/aquota.group

Then run quotacheck to get the quota back in sync:
/sbin/quotacheck /home/ -vugm

Finally turn back on quota:
/sbin/quotaon -ug /home/

And restore the values in the CODB database:
/usr/sausalito/sbin/disk_restorequotas.pl

If that doesn't fix it, then I'd need to do some debugging and would
need access to that server. :-/
