Step 1: Check the list of all running containers by using the below command.
#vzlist

SoftLimit:HardLimit – Required Disk space. For example, you want to increase to 50GB for container id 109. You can use below command.
#vzctl set 109 --diskspace 50G:49G --save

Step 3: You can verify the disk space by using the below command.

#vzctl exec CTID df -h
