Hi,

I'm trying to use tcpdump in the VE, but I read in the wiki that it is only possible with VETH (http://wiki.openvz.org/Differences_between_venet_and_veth)

To make sure I'm not using VENET I removed it from the modules loaded by /etc/init.d/vz, but now I get the following error message:

Quote:

unable to open proc/vz/veinfo

(As reported in this thread)

I read here that the venet module has to be loaded in order for the veinfo file to be created.

How can I be sure I use veth ?

Thanks Smile
