Privet Igor

This will be the upgrade logic. Let me know if you find any flaw in it.

TMPCFG=$(mktemp)
if ! grep VE_PRIVATE /etc/vz/vz.conf > $TMPCFG ; then
  echo "#Missing VE_PRIVATE assuming default" > $TMPCFG
  echo 'VE_PRIVATE=/vz/private/$VEID' >> $TMPCFG
fi
#cat $TMPCFG
for CF in /etc/vz/conf/*.conf ; do
   if ! grep VE_LAYOUT "$CF" > /dev/null ; then
VEID=$(basename "$CF" | sed 's/\.conf$//;')
X=simfs
if [ -e "${VE_PRIVATE}/root.hdd/DiskDescriptor.xml" ] ; then
   X=ploop
fi
. $TMPCFG
echo "Securing CT configuration $CF by adding VE_LAYOUT=$X"
echo "" >> $CF
echo "# Upgrade `date`: Securing CT config by adding VE_LAYOUT=$X" >> $CF
echo "VE_LAYOUT=$X" >> $CF
   fi
done
rm -f $TMPCFG
Best regards,
