[Vserver] simple disk quota -thoroughly confused

I have never had to use quotas before so this is a totally new concept for me
to get my brain around.

before i continue, i assume that quotas will work on reiserfs ? every system
we have is reiser.

There are several documents about them for vservers but this one looks like it
may be the most current?

http://linux-vserver.org/Standard+non-shared+quota

so... with the below quote from the page, i could arbitrarily choose a
vserverx block device?

-------------------------------
Use vrsetup to tell the kernel what block device you want to handle quota for:

vrsetup /dev/vroot/0 /dev/evms/vs

or

vrsetup /dev/vroot/0 /dev/lvm/vserver0
-------------------------------

so in my case since we use udev. i could issue
vrsetup /dev/vroot1 /dev/sda4 ?

what would i replace lvm or evm with? i am using neither.. i simply created
one huge volume on sda4 which all the guests use.

setting up a default mtab in /etc/vservers/guest/apps/init/mtab looks pretty
straight forward, and copying hdv1 looks easy enough..

so there are a few questions out of all this... arbitrarily choose a vserverx
block device? what to use in place of evm or lvm above? then the instruction
below..

---------------------
- inside the guest run:
quotacheck -maugv
---------------------

umm.. there is no quotacheck program or script inside the guest that i can
find... what package is it included in?

basically all i want to do is assign each guest a limited portion of disk
space. not user sensitive, just guest sensitive. right now each of them sees
625gb free.. which is ok for the guest network servers i manage, but when we
move customer colo servers to this, when users see this much space they will
go crazy with it.

an alternative would be to create a fixed size (maybe 20g or 40g) file mounted
via loopback creating a virtual disk for each of the colos as their
'drive'..maybe that would be better? then they could never corrupt anything
to do with our main disks...
