Enabling Quota fails if partition is in use

The umc returns a generic error in this case:
`Generating the quota information file failed`

The error from quotacheck is:
`Please stop all programs writing to filesystem or use -m flag to force checking.`


For the root partition the "-m" is already used. I don't see why it is less problematic there than on any other partition? I think it's fine to use it always.
