/proc/user_beancounters only exists if you are running under an OpenVZ kernel.

Why are you trying to find kmemsize? Again, you need to use a VZ kernel and it will be under /proc/user_beancounters. Maybe you should try to explain what you are trying to achieve, rather than what you are trying to do. – sybreon Feb 1 '10 at 9:01

sybreon is correct. However, if you are trying to check the kmemsize in a VPS, try the following and look for the kmemsize line:

cat /proc/user_beancounters

You may also want to ask your host if you are using ubc counters at all, if they have Virtuozzo (the commercial version of openvz) they may be using SLM, which allows you to set a flat memory limit in megabytes.
