I have been beating my head on these for days now, when i create VM (OpenVZ based) using Cloudmin CP or API, i dont know why the inode is always small and i have to edit inode from host machine to make it work

For example i created a vm with 100GB disk space and the inode is as small so the server runs out of space easily

See below when i run df -h and df -i

root@mongodb1:/# df -i                                                          
Filesystem      Inodes IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on                           
/dev/simfs      131072 27153  103919   21% /                                    
tmpfs          1088000    39 1087961    1% /run

root@mongodb1:/# df -h

I cannot post comments yet, but I would have asked what kernel version you are running (uname -r) and how you create your guests. So I will try to answer as best I can using the output you provided.

It looks like you are using simfs for your filesystem, so I am guessing this is an OpenVZ legacy version (2.6.x kernel).

I do not know how you are creating your virtual private server, but if you do not pass the --config option to vzctl then you get the defaults. I believe the defaults come from the file specified in the /etc/vz/vz.conf CONFIGFILE variable (run these commands in the shell on your host to find out what it is):

declare $(grep CONFIGFILE /etc/vz/vz.conf)
ls /etc/vz/conf/ve-$(sed -e "s/\"\|\'//g" <<<"$CONFIGFILE").conf-sample

edit that resulting file and alter the DISKINODES option to change the default.

You could also create your own configuration file by making a new file /etc/vz/conf/ve-SOME_NAME.conf-sample and put all the parameters you want for a new server then creating your guest with:

vzctl create VEID --config SOME_NAME
