Identical folders in /var/lib/vz ?!

[rethus]

If i check the used Diskspace with ncdu / in my Debian Lenny, i found, that /var/lib/vz has two directories (/private and /root) with the exactly same size.

If in switch into each of this folders, i see in both /101 as first subfolder.

Is this a missconfiguration of my system? Semms to be, that the 101 VZ is doube on the disk?

I use tartarus to backup my server to an external ftp. Can i exlude one of this both folders?

this is ok, e.g. see http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=20467&

I don't fully understand this.
Private seems to be the Real data, and root semmes to bee a hard-link ?!

This mean, i could exclude root... and if i restore the system from backup i have to add the hardlink to vz/root ?

yes

and root semmes to bee a hard-link ?!

NO, it is a 'bind mount'

This mean, i could exclude root... and if i restore the system from backup i have to add the hardlink to vz/root ?

Yes, you can exclude root. It will be automatically generated when you start the container.

no, you are wrong here and you should really think twice before you complain about an immediate help in a community forum. I pointed you to the right direction within one hour. I am quite friendly but you make it not easy to stay.

here are some rules for you, should be clear anyways:

1. think by yourself.
2. read all relevant documentation
3. search the forum and the web for an answer
4. if you do not find any answer, post in this forum.

if you do not want to follow these standard rules, you have to switch from free community support to our commercial support offerings.
