[Users] OpenVZ 8.0 - Alpha Release

[jjs - mainphrame]

I migrated a CT from a VZ7 node to the VZ8 node, and it's running normally
but the vzlist output is buggy: (0 procs)

root at vz4 ~]# vzlist
                                CTID      NPROC STATUS    CFG_IP_ADDR
HOSTNAME
                                1548          0 running   192.168.111.77
 hellboy
[root at vz4 ~]#

Should I file a bug, or is this known already?
