Managing Disk Quotas
--------------------

You can limit disk space that individual users and groups in a container can use with standard Linux tools from the ``quota`` package.

Before you can set disk quotas in a container, you will need to enable them for this container as follows:

1. Set ``QUOTAUGIDLIMIT`` to ``1`` in container configuration file (``/etc/vz/conf/<UUID>.conf``) or run the command ``prlctl set <UUID> --quotaugidlimit 1``.

2. Restart the container.
