I took backups of all my OpenVZ containers (which were running on ZFS) and I'm now trying to restore them on a new 4.0 system also using ZFS, but I'm getting the error message pasted below. When I try to restore to an ext4 filesystem it works fine.

Code:
Creating journal (32768 blocks): doneMultiple mount protection is enabled with update interval 5 seconds.
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information:  0/80     
Warning, had trouble writing out superblocks.TASK ERROR: command 'mkfs.ext4 -O mmp /var/lib/vz/images/224/vm-224-disk-5.raw' failed: exit code 144
 
I just noticed that it happens upon creating a new CT on ZFS storage as well.
Again, creating a new CT on ext4 storage works fine.

Code:

Please create and use a ZFS type storage (as opposed to a directory type storage on ZFS). That uses ZFS subvolumes
instead of ext4 formated raw files.
 
How would I correctly migrate an directory type storage based Openvz container (Proxmox 3.x into a lxc container with zfs subvolume (Proxmox 4.x) ?
