Question about /vz/private/10000n directories? [message #5159]

I have noticed the creation of a few directories under /vz/private (and /vz/root too of course) that are not directly related to VPSes. They are 100001, 100002, 100003, and 100004. Oddly enough, I have 4 VPSes on the machine in question, numbered 101 - 104.

When I orginally installed VPSes 101 - 104, /vz was on the / partition and it was getting pretty full... so I ended up moving /vz to another partition where there was more space. Oddly enough, some stuff was left behind after the move in /vz so I just named that /vz-old (just in case). Then I symlinked /vz to point to its new location. It was at this point that the 10000n directories started showing up.

I have a feeling it was my own fault as a result of moving the /vz data. Any way to fix this? I know it isn't broken... it still works and everything... I would just like to get rid of the /vz/10000n directories.

These special VEIDs are used by vzpkgcache for temporal VEs. They should be cleanuped by vzpkgcache before exit.

Please, fill the bug with detailed description of your configuration and how you achieved this (vz config file, what's done, vzpkg version, ls -l /vz, etc.).
