And the original version give you that? Just try to run quota with any parameters you would like. You'll see that first column is the partition device, not mount point nor the entry in /etc/quotatabs. But be it your way. This patch leave the old functionality intact, as long as mailboxes_partition is empty or undefined.

Read my comment again. Large installations don't have all home directories on the same partition necessarily.

?!? All you need to do is configure command driver properly in servers.php: 'quota' => array( 'driver' => 'command', 'params' => array( 'quota_path' => '/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/quota', 'grep_path' => '/bin/grep', 'mailboxes_partition' => '/dev/hdb2' ) )

I never used this quota driver, so I don't know how exactly it is supposed to work, but your patch removes the ability to have users' homes on different partitions.

This patch adds a new parameter to command quota driver called mailboxes_partition. I don't know how the original developer of this module made it work because quota utility displays partition device names, not their mountpoint.
