This howto shows how to create an OpenVZ container on ploop

If you want all newly created containers to use ploop add this to /etc/vz/vz.conf

VE_LAYOUT=ploop

If you want to create only one container on ploop add '--layour ploop' to 'vzctl create' command

vzctl create CTID --layout ploop --diskspace xxxG ...

Do this to convert a simfs container to a ploop container

vzctl set CTID --diskspace xxxG --save
vzctl convert CTID
