Santi, I'm sure Kir will follow up with more official answers but here is my understanding... as a fellow community member.

None of the existing OpenVZ code is being submitted to mainline. All of the container code coming form the Virtuozzo / OpenVZ developers is all new code. How long will it take? Well, it is a consensus effort with a number of developers including those outside of Virtuozzo / OpenVZ... namely developers from IBM and Google. From what I've been able to gather, it'll take between 1-3, or 3-5 years... depending on who you talk to and what level of done you want. > Is there any plans from Parallels to release non-free code from > Virtuozzo kernel, such as VZFS? It is my understanding that VZFS requires updates to a number of userland tools and OpenVZ doesn't want to have to maintain those tools for various distros... so I don't think they have any plans of adding VZFS to OpenVZ. I'm pretty active on the #openvz IRC channel and I haven't seen too many folks say they were really wanting VZFS in OpenVZ. > Any plans to support NAS filers into /vz partition?

I don't think there is much that is OpenVZ specific to your question. I believe the RHEL-based kernels support iSCSI already... but I'm not sure. Anyone? Are you looking for changes to the vzmigration script that makes it aware of shared storage?
