Sure, some cases simfs is nice, but ploop makes management from the host node so much easier with the image file and snapshots, makes containers independent from the host's filesystem limitations and quotas, and eventually will lead to containers being able to easily run different file system types.
Maybe you can explain further what the disadvantages of ploop are?
devon I think you make some good points especially with it not being limited by the filesystem (eg. number of files/directories and inodes etc..).
Anyway I think I explained the disadvantages above, it's easy to backup specific portions of a container or to deploy testing on them by directly accessing them via /vz/private/ctid. I just think that what I do is not very common so most won't see the value of simfs.
