Very well.

No? Oh, OK. That's weird.

Yeah, that's normal. Also note the somewhat weird gateway. :o)

I usually use one of my sample configs as a template for VPS creation. Here
is 
my 20% config sample from one box:

#> cat /etc/vz/conf/ve-20_percent.conf-sample

# Configuration file generated by vzsplit for 5 containers
# on HN with total amount of physical mem 8073 Mb
# low memory 814 Mb, swap size 4095 Mb, Max treads 8000
# Resourse commit level 0:
# Free resource distribution. Any parameters may be increased
# Primary parameters

NUMPROC="800:800"
QUOTATIME="0"
DISK_QUOTA=yes
QUOTAUGIDLIMIT="10000"

Note the last three parameters above, which specify the quota related stuff.

I typically then create a VPS this way:

/usr/sbin/vzctl create <VPSID> --ostemplate name.tar.gz --config 
20_percent.conf

Once it's created, I set the network related info:

/usr/sbin/vzctl set <VPSID> --nameserver "192.168.0.1" --hostname
www.test.com 
--ipadd 192.168.1.1 --onboot yes --save

That should do the trick.

Hi,

The option to turn on Quotas appears after the creation of the VM, 

You should create it first then look for the tab that reads Options and
check for enable user quotas.(proxmox 1.9)
