WHM/Cpanel, a popular commercial web-based control panel for Linux, has a tendency to overwrite the special quota files in the VPS context. I am referring to:

lrwxr-xr-x     1 root root    39 Jun  8 17:27 aquota.group -> /proc/vz/vzaquota/00000073/aquota.group
lrwxr-xr-x     1 root root    38 Jun  8 17:27 aquota.user -> /proc/vz/vzaquota/00000073/aquota.user

The result of these being overwritten will be WHM showing "unlimited" quota reports for all users in the system. An quick solution to this is to run these commands from within the VPS as root:

rm -rf /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
rm -rf /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
for x in `find /proc/vz/vzaquota/ | tail -1 | xargs find | tail -2 `; do ln -s $x /; done
