Hello friends, I posted about this a few months ago but I can't find it; devs confirmed there was no solution right now but I think I am onto one.
problem:
I want to change the VEID without recalculating the quota. Naturally I change /vz/private/OLD to /vz/private/NEW, OLD.conf to NEW.conf, then start NEW. Vzctl then wants to calc the fresh quota as it should. I have tried to move /var/vzquota/OLD.quota to NEW.quota but the value OLD is stored in the binary quota file and thus is a corrupt NEW quota file.
solution:
I then remembered that the virtuozzo tool vzmlocal can rename a VE and does not require quota [re]calculation upon start. vzmlocal is a binary tool, does anyone know if it performs some replacement on the OLD.quota binary? If so, I am interested in doing this myself.
Any pointers or ideas on how to rename a VE without quota calc on openvz are appreciated.
Thanks!
Rick
