Greetings,
I'm having my first attempts using openVZ for virtualization.
As I read in the documentation and the wiki pages, it is generally possible to run 32 bit guests on a 64 bit host system.
My question is, if it is working under any circumstances.
I'm running 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 and created a container with debian-4.0-i386-minimal.tar.gz inside.
In the host system uname -a displays:
Linux host 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 06:01:29 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
In the guest system uname -a displays:
Linux guest 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 06:01:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
Does that nevertheless mean, that the guest now will behave like a 'native' 32bit host would?
What are your experiences in running a 32bit guest on a 64bit host system?
Regards,
Daniel
