I assume that you have read the doc - and install a clean vserver env - and
recent enough vserver tools. The version I mentioned in previous email auto
mount the cgroup for you so check:

ls /dev/cgroup/VS_NAME/

you should see many memory.XXX files with settings inside.

If not then something wrong, cgroup not mounted - util vserver not started
etc../ Refer to the doc again then.

Also check if you set it up

ls /etc/vservers/VS_NAME/dlimits/root/
directory inodes_total reserved space_total

I would suggest you can build a new machine - using valinal kernel
2.6.32.48 in my case it works - grep the vserver patch, build it and grep
recent vserver tools, - I have the x86_64 rpm here if you want - then
started from scratch.

best luck
