[Users] vzmigrate to /vz2 instead of /vz

[Devon B.]

Like I said though, use a symlink per VE, not the entire vz2/vz 
directory.  Then you won't have to change anything in the config.  Just 
create a symlink for the virtual servers you want on the second SSD 
prior to migrating.

mkdir /vz2/private/VEID
ln -s /vz2/private/VEID /vz/private/VEID

Then try the migration, does it work?
