  • new vzctl create options --layout and --diskspace
  • new vzctl convert command to convert from simfs to ploop (not back!)
  • vzctl mount/umount implemented for ploop case
  • vzctl set --diskspace does ploop image resize
  • second-level (quotaugidlimit) quota on ploop/ext4 support
  • basic snapshot functionality (vzctl snapshot* commands)
