I'm no quota expert but my first guess is that quota needs "-m" or a read
only filesystem. It tries to remount / as read only but that will never
work, every process on the system technically has to have / open.

Therefore split off the filesystems you really want to run quota on so
they aren't under /, or just use the -m option.
