How to enable quotas on Virtuozzo environments

Introduction

If you have a Virtuozzo VPS, there are a few additional steps that must be taken to enable quotas in this environment.

This is due to the nature of Virtuozzo quota types; First level quotas and Second level quotas.

Procedure

First Level Quotas

First Level quotas should be enabled by the Virtuozzo environment when it starts up the container, as such you simply need to verify that it is enabled.

Run the following command to verify First Level quotas; where Container_ID represents the container ID of the container that you wish to check:

vzquota show Container_ID

Second Level Quotas

Perform the following steps:

1. Set the QUOTAUGIDLIMIT parameter to a value that is greater than zero.

2. Run the following command to enable second-level quotas, where Container_ID represents the container ID of the container that you wish enable second-level quotas on.

   vzquota on Container_ID -s 1

3. Restart the Container.
