It seems that ploop is not an experimental feature any more. At least judging from what I read on the official ploop wiki page here: https://openvz.org/Ploop
I am using a gluster cluster for holding kvm images. I also have a lot of openvz containers, some of which have more than a million small files (basically web servers and mail spools). I would love to see ploop supported by proxmox to a point where I am getting my feet wet and trying to build it by myself. So far i have been able to get it working using a mix of recompiled vzctl with ploop support and ploop libraries borrowed from the openvz rpms, as there is no ploop packages for debian (yet). So far I see some success: container creation works "out of the box". The containers boot and work correctly. I have not tried migration or other gimmiks (yet) but am willing to give it a good spin. Before going any further, I would like to ask if patches will be welcome or not, and if the core developers will welcome such twist. There's a need to bump the version of vzctl from 4.0 to 4.5 as there appear to be some bug fixes in that version. Also a package for ploop-library will need to be backported to wheezy and provided in the proxmox repository. Shall I go forward? paul _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list [email protected] http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
