vzctl RHEL6 Kernel - No ploop module (Squeeze)
type: item
description: Hi OpenVZ Community Today I was playing a bit with the new ploop feature, or at least I wanted to give it a try - but I didn't get that far. I'm running a Debian Squeeze System and followed the steps here: wiki.openvz.org/Install_kernel_from_RPM_on_Debian_6.0 to install all needed packages. Note: You should list ploop-lib too as a requirement! I've tested with latest stable and testing kernel. What's the problem? using vzctl convert or vzctl create --template ploop doesn't work as it complaints about missing ploop support in kernel. I tried modprobe and added ploop and pfmt_ploop1 to /etc/modules but I can't get it to work. I am not sure if it is really a problem of the module not beeing loaded or just that vzctl doesn't recognize it, as using "ploop" directly as a command seems to work. Does anyone have any hints for me? Thank you very much! //edit: System Information Debian 6.0.5 64-bit vzctl 3.3 kernel: 2.6.32-042stab061.9

description: OK it seems like I found the "answer". I upgraded to vzctl v4.0. Because of this I had to install libcgroup1 (or something similar) and vzctl was able to recognize ploop. However, ploop creation failed and I also had to install parted. Now, everything seems to work
