      Description

      >Description of problem:

      When a Centos7 container has a /etc/hostname (which is optional) the container gets a non fqdn hostname set.

      using vzctl-4.9.4-1.x86_64

      >How reproducible:

      >Steps to Reproduce:
      1 vzctl create 2016051001 --ostemplate=centos-7-x86_64-minimal --layout simfs
      3. vzctl start 2016051001
      2. vzctl set 2016051001 --hostname=test.localdomain --save
      3. vzctl exec 2016051001 hostname
      test.localdomain
      4. vzctl exec 2016051001 cat /etc/hostname
      cat: /etc/hostname: No such file or directory
      5. vzctl exec 2016051001 touch /etc/hostname
      6. vzctl set 2016051001 --hostname=test.localdomain --save
      7. vzctl exec 2016051001 hostname
      test
      8. vzctl exec 2016051001 cat /etc/hostname
      test

      >Actual results:

      non fqdn "test"

      >Expected results:

      fqdn "test.localdomain"

      >Host OS:

      Centos 6

      >Guest OS:

      Centos 7

      >Additional info (see https://openvz.org/Reporting_OpenVZ_problem):

      I see online that some distributions expect a non fqdn in /etc/hostname
      But this does not seem to be the case for Centos 7.

      Also using de official tools in the container seem to show this;

      # vzctl exec 2016051001 hostnamectl set-hostname test.localdomain

      # vzctl exec 2016051001 hostname
      test.localdomain

      # vzctl exec 2016051001 cat /etc/hostname
      test.localdomain
