→Resource limiting: use new BC interface
The very important feature of VE is that you can limit it by resources: CPU, memory, disk space.
It is also performed via vzctl. Current usage values and limits of memory-related resources can be viewed through

First column is resource name, second is current usage, third is peak usage, forth and fifth are barrier and limit, and last column is fail counter.
Note that if you have failcounters nonzero values in the last column, it means that the appropriate this VEexperienced a resource shortage. This is very common reason why some application fail torun work in a VE. In this case you should increase limits/barriers accordingly; see
[[resource shortage]] for more info.
