Reference 106
-e, --block-exptime time
Required. Expiration time for excess of the block soft limit.
Time can be specified in two formats:
 dd:hh:mm:ss For example: 30 - 30 seconds; 12:00 -
12 minutes; 20:15:11:00 - 20 days, 15 hours, 11 minutes
 xxA, where A - h/H(hour); d/D(day); w/W(week);
m/M(month); y/Y(year). For instance: 7D - 7 days; 01w
- 1 week; 3m – 3 months
-i, --inode-softlimit num
Required. Inodes soft limit – amount of inodes allowed for
the Virtual Private Server to create. This limit can be
exceeded by the VPS for the time specified by inode
expiration time (see below). When expiration time is off the
Virtual Private Server cannot create more inodes even if
hard limit is not yet reached.
-I, --inode-hardlimit num
Required. Specifies inodes hard limit. This limit cannot be
exceeded by the Virtual Private Server.
-n, --inode-exptime time
Required. Expiration time for excess of the inode soft limit.
Time can be specified in two formats:
 dd:hh:mm:ss For example: 30 - 30 seconds; 12:00 -
12 minutes; 20:15:11:00 - 20 days, 15 hours, 11 minutes
 xxA, where A - h/H(hour); d/D(day); w/W(week);
m/M(month); y/Y(year). For instance: 7D - 7 days; 01w
- 1 week; 3m – 3 months
-p path
Required. Specifies the path to the Virtual Private Server
private area.
-c quota_file
Optional. Specifies the file to write output of counted disk
space and inodes as well as limits. If omitted, the default
/var/vzquota/quota.vpsid file is used.
vzquota drop
Removes the quota file. The syntax of this command is:
vzquota [options] drop vpsid [-f] [-c quota_file]
The command checks whether the quota is running for a given Virtual Private Server and if it is,
exits with error. An optional –f switch can be given to override this behavior and drop quota
even if it is running. You can also override the path to the quota file to be dropped with an
optional –c switch.
