So why did you reassign the bug to quota?

Other users with similar problems might find the report if it's listed
with network-manager but they certainly won't find it under quota.

If this is the only solution, fine, but it has to be documented IMO.

Problem is (at least I think it is) that quota stats the mountpoint which
then fails because the server does not respond anymore (obviously). 

But I don't think it makes sense to discuss this detail because more
severe problems seem to arise from this setup.
