Checking Quota Status

As the server administrator, you can check the quota status for any Container with the vzquota stat and vzquota show commands. The first command reports the status from the kernel and shall be used for running Containers. The second command reports the status from the quota file (located at /var/vzquota/quota.<CT_ID>) and shall be used for stopped Containers. Both commands have the same output format.

The session below shows a partial output of Container 101 quota statistics:

# vzquota stat 101 –t

resource usage softlimit hardlimit grace

1k-blocks 38281 1000000 1100000

inodes 45703 90000 91000

User/group quota: on,active

Ugids: loaded 34, total 34, limit 100

Ugid limit was exceeded: no

User/group grace times and quotafile flags:

type block_exp_time inode_exp_time dqi_flags

user 0h

group 0h

User/group objects:

ID type resource usage softlimit hardlimit grace status

0 user 1k-blocks 38220 50000 60000 loaded

0 user inodes 45453 70000 70000 loaded

[the rest is skipped]

The first three lines of the output show the status of first-level disk quotas for the Container. The rest of the output displays statistics for user/group quotas and has separate lines for each user and group ID existing in the system.

If you do not need the second-level quota statistics, you can omit the –t switch from the vzquota command line.
