Question disk quotas shell script

Hello.. I wrote the following shell script to run disk quotas for assigning limits to users. I need to know the partition which the user has created and mount it. So i copied the partitions (which will be displayed after running fdisk -l) and separted the last line from it and cut the required partition name from it. Then this should be passed to the next line (using mount). Here I am facing the problem.. It is returning the error "device not found", that means the variable "$part" is not giving the partition name..

The following is my code:
Code:
VSIZE=100m;

fdisk /dev/sda >/dev/null 2>&1 <<EOF
n
p
3

+${VSIZE}M
w
EOF

partprobe /dev/sda

fdisk -l > file1

awk 'NF{s=$0}END{print s}' file1 > file2

part=(`cut -c "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" file2`)

mkfs.ext3 $part

mkdir /var/likes

mount $part /var/likes

chmod 777 /var/likes

quotacheck -cugv /var/likes

quotaon $part

setquota -u kal 2 3 4 5 -a $part

QUOTA(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  QUOTA(1)

NAME
quota -- display disk usage and limits SYNOPSIS
quota [-g] [-u] [-v | -q] quota [-u] [-v | -q] user quota [-g] [-v | -q] group DESCRIPTION
Quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed. Options: -g Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional -u flag is equivalent to the default. -v quota will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated. -q Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota. Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for the user). Only the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument to view the limits of other users. Non-super-users can use the -g flag and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members. The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag. Quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems that have a mount option file located at its root. If quota exits with a non-zero status, then one or more filesystems are over quota. FILES
Each of the following quota files is located at the root of the mounted filesystem. The mount option files are empty files whose existence indicates that quotas are to be enabled for that filesystem. .quota.user data file containing user quotas .quota.group data file containing group quotas .quota.ops.user mount option file used to enable user quotas .quota.ops.group mount option file used to enable group quotas HISTORY
The quota command appeared in 4.2BSD. SEE ALSO
