	| Hello, using 
 ploop-1.6-1.x86_64
 vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab076.5.x86_64
 zfs-0.6.1-1.el6.x86_64
 
 creating a CT fails when attempting to use ploop on a zfs /vz/private partition:
 
 # vzctl create 1000 --ostemplate  ubuntu-12.04-x86_64 --layout ploop --diskspace 8G
 Creating image: /vz/private/1000.tmp/root.hdd/root.hdd size=8388608K
 Creating delta /vz/private/1000.tmp/root.hdd/root.hdd bs=2048 size=16777216 sectors
 Error in create_empty_delta (ploop.c:289): Can't open /vz/private/1000.tmp/root.hdd/root.hdd: Invalid argument
 Failed to create image: Error in create_empty_delta (ploop.c:289): Can't open /vz/private/1000.tmp/root.hdd/root.hdd: Invalid argument [1]
 Creation of container private area failed
 
 Is this to be expected under zfs?
 Is there a known workaround?
 
 The same container works fine with default simfs on the same zfs partition.

	| The question is not what fs needs to be inside a ploop container; it is why the creation of /vz/private/{ctid}/root.hdd/root.hdd
 fails when /vz/private is a zfs partition.
 
 According to wiki.openvz.org/Ploop/Why
 "Different containers may use file systems of different types and properties"
 
 So one might have hoped that user-space ploop can also use
 zfsonlinux file systems.
