Hmm, yes. It works - just without quotas and revealing the host's device name inside containers. I admit I didn't recall this detail when I posted the poll yesterday, only rediscovering this thread later.

Need to add project quota support to appropriate userspace tools: > quota-tools and e2fsprogs > see details at https://bugs.openvz.org/browse/OVZ-6619 Where are those kernel patches already ported by Stas Kinsbursky? The userspace tools patches as linked from OVZ-6619: https://github.com/ddn-lixi/project_quota_ext4_utils This sounds like something a distro should manage to merge and maintain, and maybe you will in VzLinux as well? With this, we'd be missing second-level quotas (per-user quotas inside containers), yet it'd be a major improvement compared to the current state of having no quotas at all. Meanwhile, the Twitter poll got 20 votes in 24 hours. The results are: 35% No preference 45% Yes, re-add simfs 20% No, ploop alone is fine (This is not counting the mailing list votes.) Right before I posted about it in here, we were at 10 votes with: 50% No preference 30% Yes, re-add simfs 20% No, ploop alone is fine Personally, I think that having a straightforward upgrade path for existing users of older OpenVZ is very important, and it's currently lacking. That's a problem for the project's future as it's losing a large fraction of its userbase.
