Anqui did a first try with this patch. The feature was positively 
received but not in this form. I don't know what is the status of this 
work, but maybe Anqui can give an answer :) - Cc'ed.

Anqui ? Did you tried to implement quotas with the directory hierarchy 
level as suggested Paul ?

Krzysztof, one solution to restrict disk usage to a container can be to 
create an disk image of 20GB, mount it on a directory, install the 
rootfs on it and use this directory as the rootfs for the container.

ps: The disk image should be a sparse file ;)
