It means that only 6K bytes of files have been created by smith since the
quota system was enabled.  When you first gave smith a quota using
edquota, he had 0 blocks used, since the quota daemon had not been
informed of smith's current usage.

You need to run /usr/etc/quotacheck after creating a quota for a user that
did not have a quota when the system was last rebooted.  Note that /etc/rc
runs quotacheck.
