2.13.7. Creating SimFS-based Containers

In OpenVZ, the simfs layout is based on bindmounts. When a simfs-based container is started, its private area is bindmounted to the root container area.

To create a simfs container:

  1. Set VEFSTYPE=simfs in /etc/vz/vz.conf.
  2. Run vzctl create <CT_name>.

The limitations of simfs in OpenVZ are:

  1. No support for first- or second-level quotas.
  2. No support for live migration of simfs-based containers.
