Slackware VPS problem [message #1912]

hi,

I just installed some slackware packages in a chroot environment under /vz/private/888. I sort of followed the guide on making a debian template. When I tried to start the vps, I get the following error.
vzquota : (error) quota check: crossing mount point
vzquota init failed [8]

/vz/private/888/ is on its own partition. Maybe that's the problem? if that's the case, how do I fix this?

I'm quiet new to linux and all, so maybe someone can point me to some how-to or guides regarding this, instead of walking me through step by step.

both VPS root and private directories should reside on the same partition.

You can fix it in 2 ways:

1. recommended way is to have whole /vz on a separate partition.

2. You can change VPS configuration
/etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/<VPSID>.conf:
VE_ROOT="/vzt/root/$VEID"
VE_PRIVATE="/vzt/private/$VEID"
so that both dirs would reside on the same partition.
