Hi

Thanks a lot both of you. Uloaded a 1.9-4 version now with this problem
solved.

 Hi Kir

 I have a question about ploop and vzctl.

 The question is regarding architecture support in the kernel. What
architectures have working ploop and/or vzctl support in the openvz patched
kernel?


Currently we only build kernels for i386 and x86_64, but ploop code should
not be arch-specific (unlike, say, checkpoint/restore stuff), so it makes
sense to try building it for other arches as well. We have plans to merge
the ploop kernel code upstream (in one way or another).


 vzctl is currently built for: i386, amd64, ia64, powerpc and sparc
ploop is possible to build for i386 and amd64.

 I raise this question as there is a problem to have a build dependency on
ploop if ploop can not be built for the same (or more) architectures as
vzctl.


Fixed in git:
http://git-ovzcore.sw.ru/?p=ploop;a=commit;h=282a186b7

Although I don't currently have a way to test it.


 Cheers

 // Ola
