With the latest rhel5 kernel, "iotop now works in both CT0 and in CTs" ( http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel5/028stab079.1 )
Awesome! In an Ubuntu 10.04 VE, iotop worked out of the box (i.e. apt-get install iotop).

On the CentOS 5 host, it's a bit trickier but still works:
1) Enable EPEL ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the _packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F )
2) yum install python-ctypes
3) Download latest iotop tar.gz http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/ (NOTE: The rpm does NOT work because it complains about too old python)
4) Extract and run ./iotop.py

Thanks OpenVZ devs!!!
