    It has to scan the whole filesystem and if you have a lot of files, it'll take a while.

    Can you boot the VPS with a live distro and mount the disk from there?

    In that case, I suppose that disabling the quota options in /etc/fstab should let you boot. You can reenable it later and check the quota on the running system.

    The size of the files doesn't matter, it matters how many actual files you have.

    How much RAM do you have?

    i tried it by removing usrquota from fstab but it doesn't work

    How many inodes in use?
    If you have lots of small files that is normal. Much worse if you have millions of files in a single folder with no sub folders. Not saying its your case but for example, huge emails accounts like 50GB are a PITA for any sort of scans.
