[Users] OpenVZ 7 -- ploop compact not implemented?

[Kirill Kolyshkin]

Indeed, pcompact is just a wrapper that essentially running ploop
balloon discard for all containers
(as you can see by reading its source code at
https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/pcompact/browse/main.c)

vzctl compact from OpenVZ Legacy was also a wrapper, just for
individual containers, that saved you the hassle
of figuring out the path to DiskDescriptor.xml and typing 'ploop
balloon discard'.

What's new is defrag option, that runs OpenVZ's ext4 defragmenter,
e4defrag2, written by Dmitry Monakhov.
Its source code is at https://github.com/dmonakhov/e2fsprogs/tree/e4defrag2
