Something definitely weird happening with simfs file sizes now:

[root@mrmber ~]# vzctl set 777 --save --diskspace="20000000:24000000"
CT configuration saved to /etc/vz/conf/777.conf
[root@mrmber ~]# vzctl exec 777 df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 5474372 710700 3205452 19% /
none 131072 4 131068 1% /dev
[root@mrmber ~]#

ploop-based CTs seem fine.
