description: Hi, All I have 49 VE running, but I can't start the 50th one. I am using 2.6.18-fza-028stab051.1-686-bigmem. The dmesg gives: VE: 150: failed to start with err=-11 The vzctl.log gives: vzctl : VE 150 : Starting VE ... vzctl : VE 150 : Mounting root: /vz/root/150 /vz/private/150 vzctl : VE 150 : Running: /etc/vz/conf/vps.mount vzctl : VE 150 : VE is mounted vzctl : VE 150 : Set iptables mask 0x000017bf vzctl : VE 150 : Set features mask 0000000000000000/0000000000000000 vzctl : VE 150 : VE start failed vzctl : VE 150 : Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota stat 150 -f vzctl : VE 150 : VE is unmounted And there are no fails in the /proc/user_beancounters. Could anyone give some clues? Thanks a lot!
