I want to mount my /home in /etc/fstab for quota limits how do I do that?

My Ubuntu-Server fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
/dev/mapper/vg0-lv0 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/mapper/vg0-lv1 none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

UPDATE

@Rinzwind

fstab

home /home ext4 defaults,usrquota 0 0 
mount -o remount /home

root@ubuntu:/home/one# mount -o remount /home
mount: /home not mounted already, or bad option

After Rebooting:

error "Filesystem could not be mounted: /home"

You need to add ,usrquota to the options of the partition that your created for this. A possible(!) valid method would be:

home /home ext4 defaults,usrquota 0 0

but since you do not have a partition with mount point home I am just guessing. After that you need to remount /home.

mount -o remount /home

and the filesystem then knows it needs to check for quota (ie. /home/aquota.user).
