[Users] convert to ploop

[Nick Knutov]

Thanks, now I understand why this occurred, but what is the easiest way
to convert a lot of different CTs to ploop? As I remember there is no
way to set up unlimited diskinodes or disable them (in case I want to
use CT size when converting to ploop and don't want to think about
inodes at all).
