Actually, I don't believe that's entirely accurate. The performance problem with shared filesystem roots for containers has meant OpenVZ has been using a block root for a while. However, we still support the old shared filesystem root, but for quota's within the chroot, we use a subtree quota system (not a project quota) for which Dmitry Monakhov posted the patches several times a couple of years ago.
