OpenVZ project has released an updated RHEL6 based testing kernel. Read 
below for more information.

NOTE that this is a *testing* kernel, not yet recommended for production.


Changes
=======
Since 042stab078.6:
* [fs] fsync should not change data on a frozen fs, this results in a 
warning "WARNING: at fs/ext4/super.c:248 ext4_journal_start_sb" and 
possibly - data corruption (PSBM-19460)
* [nfs] NFSv4 support inside a CT has been added/corrected/enhanced, 
plus online migration of such CTs is supported now (PSBM-17798, PSBM-17795)
** NOTE: we are not going to enable NFSv4 support inside a CT by default 
at least until we get a positive feedback from real customers on NFSv4 
support. In order to use NFSv4 inside a CT, one needs to enable sysctl 
"nfs4_ct_enable" first on the HN.
* [sunrpc] false positive external usage report on a CT stop has been 
eliminated
* [cpt/nfs] unlinked/silly-renamed files handling has been corrected. We 
do not look for dentry aliases anymore, we just resurrect the file and 
unlink it once more after the migration.
