I tried to create OpenVZ VPS 256MB RAM plan and it failed.

I tried increasing disk space in HyperVM for that Resource Plan, it not helped.
I checked used inodes used by the already setup VPS with same template (vzctl exec CTID df -i). It was way lower than inodes set for the VPS plan i was using to create VPS.

The file containing variables like diskspace, diskinodes was in my case: /etc/vz/conf/ve-vswap-256m.conf-sample

What helped to solve this OpenVZ creation issue (Disk quota exceeded) was to edit appropriate ve*.conf-sample file in /etc/vz/conf/ directory. And increase values for variable "DISKSPACE".

I had this line:
DISKSPACE="2G:2.2G"
and i updated it to:
DISKSPACE="4G:4.2G"

The HyperVM settings for disk space was ignored, because it seems that the VPS is first created using parameters set in ve*.conf-sample file and then HyperVM parameters are applied afterwards.
