Stop here. You have a hole in quota file. You are not supposed to.
I think it's a misfit between Linus' kernel and the
quota tools from http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota/
Running `quotacheck' creates an aquota.user which is
only ~7200
Hello,
There's also this recursion:
write(user)-write_dquot(user)-write(quotafile)-write_dquot(root)
This recursion isn't there any more (I think for something like 6 months).
We simply don't have quotafiles counted to quota...

There are some strong arguments that we should have filesystem

You can, of course, so parts of this on a LVM level, and doing backups
with disk snapshots may be a valid approach. However, even that is
debatable: there is

There are two quota formats:
Ah. user error :)
The first in Linus's tree - it uses file quota.user and it's
simple flat file (and I agree that hole in it can cause deadlock :().
The second in Alan's tree - it uses file aquota.user and it
has more complicated file

Aha. So you lose the S_ISCHR/BLK attribute.
Readdir fills in a directory type, so ls sees it as a directory and does
the right thing.

What *won't* happen is, you won't get side effects from opening
your serial ports (you'd have to open them without O_DIRECTORY
to get that) so that seems like a little step forward.
As already said: depending on O_DIRECTORY breaks POSIX
