The parameter that controls the second-level disk quotas is QUOTAUGIDLIMIT in the Container configuration file. By default, the value of this parameter is zero and this corresponds to disabled per-user and per-group quotas.

Connect to OpenVZ node via SSH

Stop the VPS:

vzctl stop 101

Run this command to enable second level for a running VM.

vzctl set 101 --quotaugidlimit 10000 --save

Restart the VM.

vzctl start 101

(Check the Quotas inside the VM using the below command on the VM if cPanel is installed on the VM)

/scripts/fixquotas

Do the same for all existing VM and restart it to take the changes effect. To create a VM with second level quota enabled, add the below line in /etc/vz/conf/ve-vswap-solus.conf-sample
