I'm hitting a wall searching google for a command to discover what version openvz I'm running; I haven't been able to input the correct search terms just yet. I installed virt-what but that doesn't give all the information we're looking for. I'll edit this post if I discover the command necessary before anyone else.
- OpenVZ 6 will always be at kernel 2.6.32.xxx regardless of the OS installed in the container.
- And it will have network adapters named like "venet0", "venet0:0" and so on (mount depends on the amount of network adapters available/installed).
- The filesystem of an OpenVZ 6 container will be either simfs or ploop:
-- device descriptor example for ploop: /dev/ploop12345 (number after ploop varies)
-- device descriptor example for simfs: /dev/simfs
-- simfs was first used in OpenVZ 6 and later on got replaced by ploop due to ploop having many advantages over simfs.

OpenVZ 7 is different. A newer kernel and possibly many more changes. I will not be listing them here. I don't even know all of them as I never had a OpenVZ 7 VPS and probably will never have one.
