[Users] Checkpoint and restore on 64 bit Debian host.

[Hansel Dunlop]

Hello,

A question for the list.

We have developed a web service on 64 bit Debian locally on ZEN and for 
deployment on AWS. We really want to use OpenVZ so that we can give our 
users persistent console sessions across deployments of our software.

During our experiments with OpenVZ we discovered that Chkpt/Restore 
doesn't work on 64 bit Debian (or we couldn't make it work) which seems 
to be a known problem.

We figure it could be three or four weeks of work to switch to CentOS or 
Scientific Linux.

What advice do people have? I've been reading through the mailing lists 
but I don't feel like I have a clear picture of what is working and what 
is not right now. Are there events in the near future which might make 
this easier? Does anyone have working checkpointing on 64 bit Debian? 
Would it be quicker for us to try and fix the Debian issue itself?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Kind regards
