Changes

{{Note|<code>$VZROOT</code> is usually <code>/vz</code>, on Debian systems however this is <code>/var/lib/vz</code>. In this document this is further referred to as <code>/vz$VZROOT</code>-- substitute it with what you have.}}

The /vz$VZROOT/private directory contains root directory contents. This directory or subdirectory may be symlinked onto a different filesystemfile system, for example:

/vz$VZROOT/private -> /mnt/openvz

Putting VE root directories onto a separate filesystem file system (not the hardware node root filesystemfile system) is good storage management practice. It protects the Hardware Node root filesystem file system from being filled up by a VE; this could cause problems on the Hardware Node.
