VZFASTBOOT is the option.  /etc/vz/vz.conf is the main Virtuozzo config, 
not a VPS/Container config file -- it is a global option, it cannot be 
set per-Container.  If you set that option in vz.conf then you will 
achieve the effect you desire.

If you look at the code, it checks in VZFASTBOOT is set to yes, if it is 
then it starts the VPS with vzquota nocheck.  Once all VPS's are started 
it will iterate over all VPS's stopping them, calculating the quota, and 
starting the VPS back up.

              if [ "x${VZFASTBOOT}" = "xyes" -a "x${DISK_QUOTA}" = 
"xyes" ];
               then
                       $VZQUOTA stat ${veid} >/dev/null 2>&1
                       if [ $? -eq 6 ]; then
                               if $VZQUOTA show ${veid} 2>&1 | grep 
"vzquota : (warning) Quota is running" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                                       $VZQUOTA on ${veid} --nocheck 
 >/dev/null 2>&1

That does the check I stated above, VPS's are started with an 
out-of-sync quota.

                                       need_restart="${need_restart} 
${veid}"

This sets a flag that this VPS needs to be restarted normally later on 
in the script.  The normal restart will cause the quota to be fully checked.

I assure you this is the option you want enabled.

Thanks,
