Hello sir,

I have install OpenVZ on a fedora core 6 server with 160GB HDD.
Now I install a VPS but it cannot start it gives error:


Starting VPS ...
vzquota : (error) Quota on syscall for 101: File exists
vzquota on failed [3]When I put quota on off it starts ok.
But I need the quota.

Could you help please..

have you gracefully stopped VE before starting with vzctl stop?
did it tell anything (warnings, etc.)?

after stopping VE, check whether vzquota still ON using /proc/vz/vzquota file.

Thanks,

Try stopping the VPS and dropping the quota file, then restarting both:
   vzctl stop 101
   vzquota drop 101
   vzquota on 101
   vzctl start 101

So, you turned quota on and ...

>    vzctl start 101

... vzctl tells you about quota already being on on VE start.

did you want to recalculate quota via drop?
Then just drop, and vzctl start will recalculate automatically.
no need for vzquota on command.
