Sounds great, I am working with it now.

So, I found in this article:

http://wiki.openvz.org/Ploop

that ploop is still new.  Is that still true?  I'm already new to
OpenVZ, and am not quite ready to also take on a new feature that's
still somewhat experimental.  (Perhaps on a different server that I'll
be staging soon, which will not be as much of a production machine.)

It looks like the "empty files" issue may not be an OpenVZ issue, as I
found empty files after a crash in which I was not running any
containers (though it was still the OpenVZ kernel).  But right now I'm
guessing hardware, so will pursue that first.
