I have quota+raid without problems, and I can't see how raid could affects
this. Also, I have the quota files in /var/quota and not on the
quota-enbabled filesystems, maybe this is what causes troubles

I would try:
turning off softdep on /var
putting the quota files in /var

also make sure nothing writes to the filesystems with quota enabled while
quotacheck is running. I once tried enabling the NFS server before
quotacheck and got a similar panic.
