I'm not really sure, but I guess this is old vzctl vs. new kernel incompatibility, solved by http://git.openvz.org/?p=vzctl;a=commitdiff;h=4766d1f711a73e7929530a5a3f50d749e0f9de6a

Can you please try vzctl-3.0.16 with this patch, or latest vzctl from git, and report your results here?

Regards,
 Kir.

Hi all,

I am trying to set a password with the --userpasswd option, the VPS is not
running:

vzctl set 777 --userpasswd root:test
Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
VE start in progress...
Stopping VE ...
Unable to stop VE: operation timed out
Configure meminfo: 309371

Looks like vzctl start init (runlevel 2) on that VPS, so we get a timeout.
Output form ps for that VPS:

ps auxww
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root         1  0.3  0.0   1948   640 ?        Ss   11:17   0:00 init [2]
root     18348  0.0  0.0   2760  1436 ?        Ss   11:17   0:00 /bin/sh
/etc/init.d/rc 2
root     18357  0.0  0.0   1632   612 ?        Ss   11:17   0:00
/sbin/syslogd
...

So why does it start init - is that expected behavior, or is something wrong
with my custom template?

The vzctl man page say:

     --userpasswd user:password
                ...
           In case VE root is not mounted, it is automatically  mounted,
then
          all appropriate file changes are applied, then it is unmounted.
