Hi Pavel,

you really want to destroy a containers private directory on
reinstall? Think about snapshots, they are stored in the private
directory! For example, I want to snapshot a container, reinstall it
for testing things and then want to restore a previous snapshot
because the thing I wanted to test did not work.

It would be better to just mount the filesystem of the container,
delete the content within it and extract the .tar.gz file into it.
Instead of deleting the content, you could also just mount the ploop
device to /dev/ploopXXX, remove the partition and recreate it, then
mount and extract the .tar.gz file.
