Hello everybody,

I'm facing this issue.

On a new server, a classical Debian Etch, I've a root partition of 71G 
and a /home partition of 750G.

I build virtual servers in a directory /home/vservers/|<servername>/| 
without any problem.

Meanwhile I can't allow any virtual server to use more than 71G of disk 
space.

I followed http://flakey.info/linux/vservers-on-debian-linux.html :

|	mkdir -p /etc/vservers/<servername>/dlimits/0
	echo /home/vservers/<servername> > /etc/vservers/<servername>/dlimits/0/directory
	echo $(( 200 * 1024 * 1024 )) > /etc/vservers/<servername>/dlimits/0/space_total
	echo 100000 > /etc/vservers/<servername>/dlimits/0/inodes_total
	echo 5 > /etc/vservers/<servername>/dlimits/0/reserved

I can limit total allowed space to smaller value like 10G but never more then 71G.

It seems that the size of the root partition is the limit, even if the virtual server
is contained in a larger one.

Do you have any idea on how to solve that issue.

Thank for your help.
