FWIW, I seem to have a similar issue with 1.1.14 and system quotas on
the /home filesystem (different ext3 partition, no NFS) :

. OK Logged in.
. getquotaroot INBOX
* QUOTAROOT "INBOX"
. OK Getquotaroot completed.

I've tried with all of the following options :
  quota = fs:user
  quota = fs:user:mount=/home
  quota = fs:user:mount=/home:noenforcing

If I change temporarily to the following, then it "works" (not using
the filesystem quotas, of course) :
  quota = dirsize:user
  quota_rule = *:storage=10M

The filesystem quotas are working on the system and I can see them just
fine with "repquota /home". Could this be the same problem? The Wiki
doesn't point to further configuration options for the fs quotas, so I
don't think I'm missing any configuration.

Since Geoffroy reported that it was working with 1.1.11 for him, I'll
try a temporary downgrade to check if it makes any difference.
