support, where as 2.6.32 (as used by Debian 6.0) is an OpenVZ supported
version, so you may want to switch to that before doing a new deployment.

<pre>Just to clarify, currently the only OpenVZ kernel branches marked as stable are:
RHEL4-2.6.8
RHEL5-2.6.18
The current OpenVZ devel kernels branches are:
RHEL6-2.6.32
2.6.32
2.6.27
2.6.27 is a long-term supported kernel by mainline I believe.

OK, thanks for that - I thought 2.6.32 was OpenVZ supported already,
but clearly it isn't - the Debian version of 2.6.32 it is
Debian-supported already, of course (whereas 2.6.26 effectively isn't
being supported by Debian any more except for security updates).<br>
<br>
<br>
2.6.32 is a long-term supported kernel by mainline (2.6.32.36 released
2011-03-27) - it's also the kernel which has been picked by RHEL6,
Debian 6, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and SLES.<br>
I'd guess that 2.6.32 will be supported by Parallels in-time (just
because that's what RHEL6 uses), and is receiving active development,
bug fixes, etc.<br>
2.6.27 probably won't be supported as a stable release by Parallels at
any point, I'd have thought (anyone know any different?).<div class="im"><br>

It is, and it appears to still be going (2.6.27.58 2011-02-09). I was
under the impression that it wasn't anymore, but I believe 2.6.32 is
the "main" long-term kernel at the moment.<span style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:sans-serif;text-align:center"><br>
</span></span>2.6.26 isn't long-term (although in practise I believe
the Debian Kernel team did backport some stuff from it). 2.6.26 /
Debian 5.0 will get security fixes until next Jan, but no more bug
fixes AFAIK.<br>
<br>
On that basis, my advise based on personal experience would be to run
any new Debian OpenVZ deployments on Debian 6 / 2.6.32 ...<div class="im"><br>

ACK. It doesn't do much in the way of resource usage limiting (at
least not on 2.6.32 last time I looked), so if you need that it'd be a
show-stopper.<br>
<br>
