Hello

In Proxmox 3 and OpenVZ, I was able to:

- hot increase or decrease the disk size of a container. With PVE 4, I can only increase raw devices and chroot disks will see all the storage available (no quota possible)
- have good storage performances. With PVE 4 I have IOwait issues like many users on the forum and slow backup performances (I posted here that some backups take 3 times longer).
- deploy a container quickly. With PVE 4, I need to:
  1. enter more network information (netmask, default gateway)
  2. backup and restore the VM with -rootfs local:0 option to create a chroot disk (not possible via GUI). I do this because performance are poor with raw disks (IOwait problem) and I want flexible storage
  3. edit from the console /etc/sshd_config file to allow root login with password because only ssh-keys are allowed in the default templates
This is very frustrating.
