Hi Kirill,

thank you for your very fast response. :)

Is there any special reason for this? I'd really like to know the
technical aspects because I then might be able to make moosefs (or
another fuse based fs developed by myself) working with ploop. If I can
read about it in any documents, please redirect me to them :)

Another question: is it (easily) possible make an openvz container use a
normal block devices for storage (which is formatted with ex. ext4)?
Before seeing ploop I thought this won't be possible, but now with ploop
it seems vzctl is only mounting /dev/ploopX somewhere and then using
this mount as the container's root. I'd especially be interested in
using ex. an iscsi backed block device with openvz containers.
