[Users] apt-mirror does not work under OpenVZ

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the help!

Yes, you are right! See:

Before running apt-mirror:

[root at homeserver /]# cat /proc/user_beancounters
Version: 2.5
	uid	resource			held		maxheld		barrier		limit		failcnt
...
		privvmpages		10870	13641		65536		131072	0
...

After run apt-mirror and get error:

[root at homeserver /]# cat /proc/user_beancounters
Version: 2.5
	uid	resource			held		maxheld		barrier		limit		failcnt
...
		privvmpages		10895	67418		65536		131072	24

I found 24 failures for privvmpages. I added same number * 4 and it is working!

Thank you! :-)

Peter

P.S. In your instructions is missing "--" before resource to set
different values.
