How will OpenVZ survive? [message #36119] Fri, 22 May 2009 09:34 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm planning a major server deployment. Previously I have used openvz containers instead of full virtualisation.

One of the key factors in choosing a solution is long term viability and compatibility with upstream (here: kernels and distributions). Any deviation signals that a project cannot last.

All distributions are moving to udev, they are tested with udev, and some features rely on udev. Non-udev users will get less testing and less support. OpenVZ recommends disabling udev.

My question is this: will OpenVZ support udev?

Thanks.

OpenVZ already supports udev. It's just it doesn't make much sense to have udev inside a container, plus it eats some resources.

Hmm, there are no docs. If you use udev you have to add some devices that you need to have inside your CT to /lib/udev/devices, that is all. Basically what udev does is it copies those to newly created /dev during CT boot.
