Unable to get /proc/swaps file in vz
type: item
description: Hi, I would like to know if anyone get the same problem than me. Even if I active the swap (with vzctl set id --meminfo none --save), I never have the /proc/swaps in my vz. (The original problem is that I need it for Oracle). However, the command free -m showed me the good swap info. How could I solve that problem ? Ubuntu Hardy Kernel: 2.6.24-24-openvz (also tried with 2.6.24-17-openvz) vzctl version: 3.0.22 (also tried with 3.0.23) A test that I made: sudo vzctl create 203 --ostemplate ubuntu-8.04-amd64-minimal --hostname test sudo vzctl set 203 --meminfo none --save sudo vzctl start 203 Result: no /proc/swaps file. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks Alan

description: I'm not sure what kernel version "028stab059.6" is supposed to be. I've also did a "git clone git://git.openvz.org/pub/vzctl", compiled/installed.. but I still don't see the --swappages parameter. and there is still no /proc/swaps I'm proably missing something... probably the kernel version.
