Hello,

Quote:

Taking this one step further, is it safe to create "shared" folders by symlinking folders within VPS, for example

on HE /srv/database
on HE /vz/private/101/srv/database -> /srv/database
on HE /vz/private/102/srv/database -> /srv/database
VPS 101 and 102 would then both see /srv/database

This scenario must not be success.
Symlink will always point to "/srv/database" but "/srv/database" inside VE is not the same as it is on the HN.
Use bind mounts in such situations.

Quote:

root@vz247:~# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
root@vz247:~# mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
root@vz247:~# mount -t msdos /dev/sdc1 /mnt
mount: unknown filesystem type 'msdos'
root@vz247:~#

That's mean that vfat is not firtualized and as you've mentioned the bind mounts also should help you in this situation.
By the way, here is a useful wiki page
