Hi Shantarra,
Quote: | Excuse me but do you mean run OpenVZ 'inside' a VirtualBox virtual machine?

Well, i did not mean it, although it's also possible.
Quote: | I thought this was not possible, one needed to either 1) Use the patched kernel from Openvz, 2) Patch your own kernel.
|
If we won't think about VirtualBox and just want to run OpenVZ Containers, the Hardware Node (host box) has to run a kernel with OpenVZ code, you are right. But i just said that you don't have to _recompile_ it, you can use already prebuilt kernel from download section. Sorry for that, i didn't want to confuse...

Thank you for clearing that up.
Unfortunately I am temporarily stuck using an Ubuntu 8.1 Desktop for testing OpenVZ.
Will the below function the same?
1. OpenVZ inside a VirtualBox machine hosted by CentOS 5
2. OpenVZ kernel from Ubuntu repositories on Ubuntu 8.1
Also, aren't there users that wish to compile their own kernel instead of using the one provided by OpenVZ... I might be one of those people.
Thank you for the help.

This will summarize the overhead of VirtualBox and OpenVZ technologies, this means in this variant an OVZ Container will run much slower than in variant 2.

This is more preferable way, this will show the OVZ technology advantages - the container will be almost as fast as native OS.

Surely there are, just look around the forum - there are some complains on compilation, people write and test new patches, for example - PPP virtualization, so you are welcome.
Mat be that will be useful if you're going to install OpenVZ on Ubunty.
