If you start a VPS and it gives the following error:

vzquota : (error) Quota on syscall for 100: Device or resource busy

Running vzquota on failed for VPS 100 [3]

Then it means that there are some open files from that VPS. Please make sure there are no open files inside VPS root and/or private area (and your current working directory is not inside VPS root/private area) by running the following command on the hardware node:

lsof 2> /dev/null | egrep ‘/vz/root/VPSID|/vz/private/VPSID’

If there are any processes which hold a directory inside VPS root/private area - kill them.

e.g:

[root@server ~]# vzctl start 100
