Cpanel quotas

WHM/Cpanel, a popular commercial web-based control panel for Linux, has a tendency to overwrite the special quota files in the VE 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 VE 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 -2 `; do ln -s $x / ; done
