[Users] very slow shutdown of containers

[John Knight]

Hi,

I've been using OpenVZ for a while now and I'm finding that shutting down containers seems to take much longer than I would have thought, based on how quickly they start up.  I'm pretty sure it's not related to the containers os, as I've tried killing every process in a container immediately after sending the vzctl command to stop the container, yet it still takes the same amount of time (sometimes 15-30 seconds compared to starting up the container which takes 2-3 seconds max).

My guess at this point is OVZ is forcing a wait on container stops.  

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thanks,
John
