[Users] Shortest guide about running OpenVZ containers on top of ZFS

[Pavel Odintsov]

Quotes is a problem and pain for many containers, you are absolutely
right. But this issue can be solved if we can manage and create zfs
subvolumes from inside containers.

Ploop is a very good storage layout but it has big amount of issues
inherited from ext4.

But what about btrfs? From my point its not stable even in rhel7. But for
next 5-7 years we should use rhel7 openvz kernel which haven't stable
btrfs. Thus btrfs is not suitable for production usage with containers now.

But ZFS can provide all modern features now and it should be named as "best
filesystfm fof containers" !

But ZFS has some performace issues related with deduplication and
compression. But this issues can be solved ;)

I'm already have few servers with ZFS and OpenVZ and do many tests with it.

All together we can test all cases and provide complete community driven
support for ZFS;)
