VE->container
Sometimes you see a strange failures from some programs inside your [[VE|Virtual Environmentcontainer]]. 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 [[VEcontainer]]. The last column of output is fail counter. Each time a resource hits the limit, the 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: reconfigure (in some cases recompile) the application, or change the resource management settings.
