[lxc-users] Limits kind of not working

> so you would recommend ZFS instead?

I personally don't use ZFS (it's alien to Linux kernel and I don't want 
to deal with support problems arising from this situation). Many people 
claim it's magical and revolutionary, so it's up to you to test and decide.

I use LXC on BTRFS with manually-enabled quotas, but I do have problems 
with it. If you want it simple I'd recommend to either forget quotas or 
use partitions.

Not sure why it doesn't work then, try calling `btrfs quota enable` for 
the filesystem. Are you sure you can really exceed the quota? You have 
it set for amount of exclusive data, so extents shared with other 
subvolumes do not count towards it.
