Nice try, but it won't get the bounty.

Quick look at the approach says it is not the correct approach.

I have quotas on 8 partitions...  See the problem?

A very quick glance makes it seem your version only works for people with
a single quota device.  Many of use have multiple devices...

*Maybe* you could setup an array which maps the mount points or login
directories to the physical device names...  Then use this as a 'translation
table' for the output versus the posix login info.  But this is kind of a
kludge...

Did you fix the problem of line wrapping on long device names?  (I didn't
look at the code to see).

Again, I didn't examine the code, but your e-mail text suggests that this
is not going to work as a general solution.  Correct me if I'm wrong.
