OK sure, I've put up a Virtualization Howto at
http://www.linux-vserver.org/index.php?page=VirtualizeHowto
It's not complete, mainly just a copy of my email at the moment. Feel free
to improve it =)
Thanks for the ulimit info. I assume newer tool versions will put the S in
by default so I'll remove the note to add it in a few weeks.
Also I'll try out the per context quotas and put some notes on that into the
howto.
Cheers,
Chuck

please if possible, make a HowTo from that, if you
like, put it on the linux-vserver.org wiki, and
link it from the Documentation ... guess this would
be appreciated ...

to stop filling up the disks, you'll need the Disk Limits

that exactly is what Per Context Quota does ;)

just use -HS instead of -H and the ulimit issues are gone ...
