Dear Herbert, hi all,
> how, and what partition is related to what vroot device?
The partition /dev/mapper/lvm-vweb_home is related to the guest's device
/vservers/web/dev/hdv4 via /dev/vroot/vweb4
> does /dev/hdv4 exist and is it the proper vroot device?
HOST:~# ls -al /dev/vroot/
[...]
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 5 Dec 23 19:15 vweb4
The block device is copied from the host system's /dev/vroot/vweb4 using
vrsetup /dev/vroot/vweb4 /dev/mapper/lvm-vweb_home;
cp -fa /dev/vroot/vweb4 /vservers/web/dev/hdv4;
web:/# ls -al /dev/
[...]
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 5 Dec 23 19:15 hdv4

HOST:~# cat /etc/vservers/web/ccapabilites
quota_ctl
^^ this is a blank line ;-)
HOST:/# cat /etc/vservers/web/apps/init/mtab
[...]
/dev/hdv4 /home ufs defaults,noexec,nosuid,usrquota 0 0
HOST:~# mount
[...]
/dev/mapper/lvm-vweb_home on /vservers/web/home type ext3 \
(rw,noexec,nosuid,usrquota)
web:/# mount
[...]
/dev/hdv4 on /home type ufs (defaults,noexec,nosuid,usrquota)
Am I missing something?
At least as far as I can see, the settings of grsec should permit the
usage of quota. Btw, quota on the partition beeing run from the host
system works. (But I didn't find a way to pass the guest's passwd to the
host's quota-tools as a first workaround.)

Alright, thanks for clearification!
kind regards,
