description: Can anyone please point me to a howto on partitioning the drives as I tried to install HyperVM but was informed by LXHelp that I need to partition the drives with OpenVZ so that /vz is a larger drive as the /vz was full due to the templates. Thanks for any help Tom

description: that is one hell of a sentence... /vz on its own partition is useful, especially when /vz needs an fsck (system does not need to be in single user or recovery mode). When you initially set up your server, such as in the centos installer, you are able to customize the partition layout. you can create a /vz partition there, say 90% of your disk space. Or, you can leave the space unformatted and fdisk/mkfs after your server is running. This is what i do so that the server provisioning can be as simple as possible (often the provisioning is not done by the vz admin). good luck.

description: Being new to OpenVZ, and trying to understand it better before trying it on a live server, what do you do if the server is setup already, and have cPanel installed, with a lot of domains in /home already?
