However I am seeing an issue with the disk size inside the simfs-based CT.

In the vz conf files, all 3 CTs have the same diskspace setting:

[root@mrmber ~]# grep -i diskspace /etc/vz/conf/77*conf
/etc/vz/conf/771.conf:DISKSPACE="20000000:24000000"
/etc/vz/conf/773.conf:DISKSPACE="20000000:24000000"
/etc/vz/conf/775.conf:DISKSPACE="20000000:24000000"

But in the actual CTs the one on simfs reports a significantly smaller disk
space than it did under previous kernels:

[root@mrmber ~]# for i in `vzlist -1`; do echo $i; vzctl exec $i df; done
771
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ploop0p1 23621500 939240 21482340 5% /

none 262144 4 262140 1% /dev
[root@mrmber ~]#

Looking in dmesg shows this:

[ 2864.563423] CT: 773: started

I'm assuming that this disk damage occurred under the buggy stab54.1
kernel. I could destroy the container and create a replacement but I'd like
to make believe, for the time being, that it's valuable. Just out of
curiosity, what tools exist to fix this sort of thing? The log entries
recommend gparted, but I suspect I may not have much luck from inside the
CT with that. If this were PVC, there would obviously be more choices. You
thoughts?
