[Users] distro virtuozzo vs proxmox

 From my understanding, Virtuozzo 7 (or OpenVZ 7) supports user quota 
inside guest container.

However, for unprivileged LXC guest, it does not support quota inside 
container natively.

It is important if we run the guest container for multiple end-users.

(Privileged LXC guests support user quota inside container, but they 
share the same root UID between guest and host, which implies some kind 
of potential security)
