Wow. Sorry almost missed that thread.
2.6.32-openvz-budarin.1 does not contains any specific patches for ext4.

experimental), or you caught unknown bug, the later it very unlikely because
"cp" is very popular cmd :)
I'll try to reproduce your issue.

That's not true, root/$veid is just stacked filesystem on top
of private/$veid.
