There isn't really a need to run all of those commands by hand.
After rebuilding a kernel with quota support, edit /etc/fstab
to enable user/group quotas on the appropriate file systems, then
edit /etc/sysconfig and set "check_quotas=YES". Reboot the
new kernel, and all of the initial quota files will be
built by /etc/rc and enabled. Verify that quotas have been
enabled on all of the correct file systems by running:
quota -v # for user quotas
quota -vg # for group quotas
Edquota should then work.
