AFAIU at least LXC 2.0.8 with BTRFS back-end it does not propagate quota 
settings from LXC config to the actual filesystem. There's a reason for 
this: BTRFS quotas are very beta quality. You can enable them manually 
(using btrfs commands) and they will work to some extent, but you are in 
for some bad surprises.
