[Users] live migration inside one physical node

Take a look into how vzmigrate works. It's a bash script after all and it isn't that hard to reproduce what it really does.

If your container uses simfs file system, you can do an rsync of the files into another directory, twice. Once that is done, just suspend the container, make a final rsync and restore the container. That way the container was only offline for the time of the last rsync which shouldn't take very long.

If your container uses ploop file system, you can do ploop send and ploop receive (I never looked into the details how it works, but vzmigrate will help you with this), suspend the container and then let ploop finalize the progress. You need to resume the container here too once done.

For simfs, please take a look at my bash script here which does simfs -> ploop live migration: https://github.com/Fusl/simfs2ploop just to get an idea how you can do it with rsync.
