OpenVZ Ploop support

[morph027]

I posted this in another thread, but I think it belongs here:

ploop fits nicely in the new ceph and gluster direction the proxmox project is headed. Currently containers are not usable on top of ceph and gluster. ploop can fix that, even if it's accessed over gluster, it will still be much faster than single file accesses.

Add this to snapshotting, rollbacks, live migration and so on...

Maybe a little bounty would push things forward?

ATM we're using Proxmox Cluster with some dynamic KVMs and a lot of VZs. Tried CephFS with our test cluster and were impressed. Perfect, HA-aware setup with CephFS and OpenVZ on ploop would be nice. We would also pay for it. Probably sponsoring is the way to go....

I would put my money on this too. Actually, I'm so desperate for this that I will try to enable ploop on proxmox 3.2 and see if it works by myself.

Might be as simple as recompiling with --enable-ploop on

Does the new v3 kernel have ploop enabled?

As far as I know, there is no OpenVZ support for the v3 kernel. OpenVZ team has not yet ported it to the RHEL-7 (3.10) kernel.

When/if ploop is supported in Proxmox will we be able to convert existing Proxmox containers too it? Really looking forward too ploop support. I imagine the hold up is waiting for Openvz to officially support EL7?
