Hi,
I would like to use ploop (instead of simfs) but have a few questions:
1. Does ploop require any LVM "free space" to do snapshot backups? My existing snapshot backups (using vzdump) requires free space on the VG. I am not sure if a ploop CT will also be mounted in the same way?
2. How would one go about cloning a ploop CT ?
3. Can anyone comment on their experience with ploop in a production environment?
Many thanks!
Chris

can't answer how much load it will take more because it is only when ploop file grows, it is difficult to monitor. and it depends what hardware you are using. also it only happened few times.
