When ta new VPS is building if I run:

[root]# cat 101.conf

I get the following output:

When it completes the build of the VPS, that same exact command results
in the following:

As you can see the diskinodes are not set to the 600k:700k limits. If I
actually run the set command manually:

[root]# vzctl set 101 --diskinodes 600000:700000 --save
CT configuration saved to /etc/vz/conf/101.conf
[root]# vzctl set 101 --quotatime 86400 --save
CT configuration saved to /etc/vz/conf/101.conf

I end up with:

# Disk quota parameters (in form of softlimit:hardlimit)
DISKSPACE="10485760:10485760"
DISKINODES="600000:700000"
QUOTATIME="86400"

Set exactly as I need them. If I reboot (or even rebuild) the vm, the
numbers stay exactly as I set them when I manually run the vzctl set
with the limits I want. But a newly created vm again ends up with some
arbitrary number for the diskinodes.
