Specify storage for OpenVZ containers

[cwathan]

Is it possible to specify an LVM group as the storage target for OpenVZ containers? At the present time my install has a directory that lists the content as Images, ISO, Templates, Containers. I do not seem to be able to do this with LVM storage. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

No, OpenVZ need a file system (ext3, ext4, nfs).

OK. Is there a particular reason OpenVZ containers are not supported on LVM groups? (I'm a traditional Solaris guy so OpenVZ containers are something new to me.)

Nobody implemented that.

That's as good a reason as any. Thanks for the assistance! I find myself having issues finding information in the wiki due to layout.
