I agree.
But can the debugging be done inside a VM ? Also are there debuggers that you can use ? I mean how would you attach a debugger to an OS module. Not necessarily a kernel module, but lets say the File Manager GUI.

I mean how do I go about this ? Any tutorials or blogs or any source that could give me some pointers on how to start ?

NAME
cyrquota - report and optionally fix quota usage SYNOPSIS
cyrquota [ -C config-file ] [ -d domain ] [ -f ] [ mailbox-prefix... ] DESCRIPTION
cyrquota generates a report listing quota roots, giving their limits and usage. If the -f option is given, cyrquota first fixes any incon- sistencies in the quota subsystem, such as mailboxes with the wrong quota root or quota roots with the wrong quota usage reported. If an optional domain is given, the quota listing (and inconsistency fixing) is performed in that domain rather than the default domain. If any optional mailbox-prefix arguments are given, the quota listing (and inconsistency fixing) is limited to quota roots with names that start with one of the given prefixes. Running cyrquota with both the -f option and mailbox-prefix arguments is not recommended. cyrquota reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. OPTIONS
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -d domain List/fix quotas in domain. -f Fix any inconsistencies in the quota subsystem before generating a report. FILES
/etc/imapd.conf CMU
