Question

 How to enable Second evel quota on a OpenVZ virtual server?

Answer

The parameter that controls the second-level disk quotas is QUOTAUGIDLIMIT in the Container configuration file. By default, the value of this parameter is zero and this corresponds to disabled per-user and per-group quotas.

1. Connect to OpenVZ node via SSH
2. Stop the VPS:

   # vzctl stop 101

3. Run this command to enable second level for a running VM.
   

   # vzctl set 101 --quotaugidlimit 10000 --save

4. Restart the VM.
   

   # vzctl start 101

   (Check the Quotas inside the VM using the below command on the VM if cPanel is installed on the VM)
   

   # /scripts/fixquotas

5. Do the same for all existing VM and restart it to take the changes effect.
6. To create a VM with second level quota enabled, add the below line in /etc/vz/conf/ve-vswap-solus.conf-sample

   CONFIG_TEXT: QUOTAUGIDLIMIT="10000"

7. Change the below line in /etc/vz/vz.conf

   CONFIG_TEXT: CONFIGFILE="basic"

   to

   CONFIG_TEXT: CONFIGFILE="vswap-solus"
