Hi Vasya,

/vz/private/<VEID> are private areas, i.e. the directories containing the private files of the given VEs.

/vz/root/<VEID> -- are mountpoints. The private area is mounted to the /vz/root/<VEID> directory on the Hardware Node and provides VE users with a complete Linux file system tree.

Ok now that i stopped VE i see that /vz/root/<VEID> is empty and not hard liked to /vz/private/<VEID> anymore.
This means i can just move /vz/private/<VEID> to separate partition ,on the same HN, while VE is stopped.

Quote:

If you want to move VE files from HN to some other place it's better to avoid /vz/private using and handle /vz/root directory.

I did not get the meaning of this comment, could you please
elaborate?

Thanks
Alex
