Maratus, thanks for your answer.

As far as I understand you have got "/vz" on a separate partition.
So when you reinstall your HN "/" will change but "/vz" will be the same. And you want to use "old" /vz partition on the "new" HN.
You understood perfectly.

I think the following steps should help us:
1. Save /etc/vz/conf directory.[...]
The problem is that this doesn't scale in my scenario. Remember that I may have to reinstall hundreds of HNs in one go. I don't want any kind of human intervention in installing or configuring neither the HNs nor the VEs.

Long story short, all I need is something like
vzctl create 10000 --noostemplate --private /vz/private/10000
Then, just running the appropraite vzctl set commands would recover my VE in seconds, with no data loss. A nice wish for bugzilla?

Cheers.


If all the world is a stage, I want better ligthting.
