[Users] forcibly purging quota?

[Kirill Korotaev]

Can you please explain a bit how your quotas get wrong?
Do you have some test case to reproduce the problem and demonstrate it?
Or you have started VEs w/o quotas from time to time?
Or you have some private custom VE private directories?
What filesystem do you use for /vz?

Thanks,
Kirill
