Public bug reported:

Reported by Tim Parkinson:

Updating the default file quota does not update the quota for existing
users.  This makes future administration difficult as the only way to
update the file quota for existing users is to either go through them
one by one and update the quotas individually, or to execute an SQL
query on the database to update the settings. The number of users and
presumed technical expertise of the administrators means that both of
these options are not feasible.

There needs to be an option for the new quota setting to be applied to
existing users. Either with an additional checkbox to say "Apply new
quota to existing users" which updates the records on submit or just
automatically applies the new quota to existing users.
