[Debian] Re: [max@stro.at: Debian linux-2.6 Paris meeting]

[Kir Kolyshkin]

Ola,

Thanks a lot for letting us know.

Can you explain what it means "OpenVZ can't anymore do checkpointing 
since 2.6.18".
(this quote is from metting minutes). Are there any open bugs for OpenVZ 
checkpointing
in Debian?

Do you think I should ask Debian kernel people directly?
