VE storage management and vzrestore?

[hk@]

Hi,
I absolutely love PVE2.1 with the ability to have the private of a VE stored at another directory different to /var/lib/vz/private.

Curiously PVE generates the following lines in the config file:

VE_ROOT="/var/lib/vz/root/$VEID"
VE_PRIVATE="/var/lib/bigdata/private/79002"

(why the VE_PRIVATE path is not created using $VEID at the end I do not know)

oldschool config was like this:
VE_ROOT="/var/lib/vz/root/$VEID"
VE_PRIVATE="/var/lib/vz/private/$VEID"

besides this probably only cosmetic issue, I do now wonder how one could restore such a VE using vzrestore as there seems to be no parameter to define the private-path for the VE to be restored.

please advise,
hk

I guess we need to add a -storage parameter to vzrestore. Also file a bug for that.
