My test platform is centos-6.2 32 bit. I had successfully created
ploop-based containers when testing the ploop and vzctl from git last week.
Today I installed the released ploop and vzctl rpms to test further.

When I issue a command to create a ploop-based container, vzctl is unable
to complete the operation, exiting with errors:

[root@mrmber ~]# vzctl create 777 --layout=ploop --config=vswap-256m
--ostemplate=debian-5.0-x86
Unable to get full ostemplate name for debian-5.0-x86

Creation of container private area failed

When I issue a command to create a container with the same parameters
except using layout=simfs instead of ploop, vzctl succeeds:

[root@mrmber ~]# vzctl create 777 --layout=simfs --config=vswap-256m
--ostemplate=debian-5.0-x86
Unable to get full ostemplate name for debian-5.0-x86
Creating container private area (debian-5.0-x86)
Performing postcreate actions
CT configuration saved to /etc/vz/conf/777.conf
Container private area was created
[root@mrmber ~]#

Where should I be looking to solve this mystery?

Regards,

Joe
