My versions:
vzctl-3.0.22-1
vzctl-lib-3.0.22-1
ovzkernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.028stab053.10
vzquota-3.0.11-1

I have the same paragraph in the init script.
What I read is:
   If fastboot and disk_quota are both yes,
   make sure that quota isn't already running,
   then run vzquota on.

In our case, neither FASTBOOT nor DISK_QUOTA are set in the conf files, 
yet vzquota runs anyway (normally good, but after a power failure very 
time consuming). The --nocheck option is not mentioned in the man pages 
nor does it seem effective. What am I missing here?

My hack was to add a "vzquota off" line right above the "vzquota on" 
line. It's effective, but not as great as a "real" solution.
