We won’t be able to create a new VPS in node due to the following ploop error.

Check whether the partition is on the ext4 filesystem or not. Ploop doesn’t work on ext3 filesystem. My node’s /vz partition was on the ext3 filesystem.

We cannot simply upgrade the /vz partition from ext3 to ext4 as lots of VPS are running on it. Here I have checked the vzctl version and found it was the latest one 4.7.x

# vzctl --version
vzctl version 4.7.1

The latest vzctl tries to create a template as ploop which is advanced than simfs. Since the partition runs on the ext3 filesystem, the safest way to fix the issue is to downgrade the version of vzctl to 4.5.x

version 4.5.1 is not available in OpenVZ anymore. You may need to manually download the rpm of vzctl and vzctl-core from https://openvz.org/Download/vzctl/4.5.1 and install it.

Before installing it, remove the current vzctl 4.7.x

# yum remove vzctl
# cd /usr/src
# wget http://download.openvz.org/utils/vzctl/4.5.1/vzctl-4.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
# wget http://download.openvz.org/utils/vzctl/4.5.1/vzctl-core-4.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm

vzctl --version
vzctl version 4.5.1

Create a container now :

vzctl create 101 --ostemplate centos-6-x86_64-cpanel --private /vz/private/101 --root=/vz/root/101 --config configname
