Thanks for your help, Evgeny. 
All this has been done, except for the "usrquota,grpquota" options,
which are ignored anyhow (see man page of mount(8) ). I tried to add
them nevertheless, but this didn't change anything, as expected.
I'm afraid the same questions still remain: 
'edquota ' gives me a blank file to edit (except for the first line,
which states 'quotas for user xxx:'). When I try to edit it in any of
the formats I know it just has no effect - I do not see it translated to
a binary (should it be stored in the root dir of the fs, or somewhere
else?), and no quota is set for the user...

What is the exact format to be used? Or is it something else I might
still be doing wrong?? 
Above all - is quota setting part of a secret cult? Why isn't it
documented anywhere????
