 .SH DIAGNOSTICS
-An error will occur if you attempt to set the quota for a user whose
-uid is higher than any other recorded in the quotas file.  To fix
-this, you must grow the quotas file first.
+.B setquota
+will return a non-zero status if the user is not root, if the uid is
+not between 0 and 32767 inclusive, if the low-uid is higher than the
+high-uid, if the quota is less than zero, or if quotas are not enabled
+on the given device or partition.
+
+The previous bug which required the user to manually grow the quotas
+file is fixed.
+.B setquota
+automatically grows the quotas file if necessary.
