Inital draft
Sometimes you see a strange fails from some programs inside your [[VE|Virtual Environment]]. In some cases it means one of the resources controlled by OpenVZ hit the limit.
The first thing to do is to check the contents of /proc/user_beancounters file in your [[VE]]. The last column of output is fail counter. Each time a resource hit the limit, fail counter is increasing. So, if you see non-zero values in failcnt column that means something is wrong.
There are two ways to fix the situation: reconfugure (in some cases recompile) the application, or change the resource management settings.

FIXME vzctl set VEID --parameter $((oldbarrier*1.5)):$((oldlimit*1.5)) --save
