no, not necessarily ...

this is root within context 2 ...

I must admit, I've lost the thread ...
- are you using the lvm/loop based approach or
do you want quota on a shared partition?
- for lvm/loop based approach, you would use
one vroot device per lvm lv or loop, to
block unwanted access and permit quotactl
- for the shared approach, one vroot device
per shared partition should suffice ...

#0 4 is root in context 4 (as the patched tools report)
#1000 4 is the user with uid 1000 in context 4
if the user with uid 99 in context 10 writes to a file in
/path/to/dir (quota enabled) this will natually account for
user #99/10 (in the physical view) but should be reported
as user #99 (in the vserver view, quota & edquota)

it is the actual user, this is the uid used within the virtual
server, so whatever /vserver/<name>/etc/passwd contains with
uid 8 is the user you are searching for ...
