Set I/O limit for OpenVz container
The original wiki: http://openvz.org/I/O_limits
To take a look if I/O limit set for some container you can run next command:
cat /etc/vz/conf/1786.conf | grep IOLIMIT
If you see output like this:
IOLIMIT="1048576"
Means I/O limit set to 1Mb for specified container.
Set I/O limit :
vzctl set 1786 --iolimit 1M --save
You can also modify this value in container config file /etc/vz/conf/<CTID>
