(1) vzctl man page (from the latest git, not yet released) have error 
codes documented.

2 means "failed to set a fair scheduler parameter". Do you have any 
other diagnostics than that? Anything that vzctl prints?


(2) there is a --skiplock option, it is not documented since it can 
bring more harm than good.

If there is a stale lock file vzctl recognizes it and works around it.
