It shows in df (or df -i) -- standard UNIX/Linux tool; it is all
described in http://wiki.openvz.org/Resource_shortage (which I guess I
should add to "must read" category.

See, ff there is a standard way of seeing something, why invent
something new and unique? For disk space there is such a tool, for
beancounters there was no, since beancounters only appeared in OpenVZ.
