Changes

Ploop is a disk loopback block device, similar to loop but with many features like dynamic resize, snapshots, backups etc. The main idea is to put container filesystem in a file.

The source code is [https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/ploop/browse on Stash] and [https://github.com/OpenVZ/ploop mirror] on GitHub.
