restore bug in vzdump 1.2.3?

[proxymoxy]

Is this is potential bug in vzdump/vzrestore?

Here is what I did:

Install sl6 precreated template from openvz.org

vzctl enter 101
- yum update
- yum install iotop
- exit
vzctl enter 101
- iotop [works fine]
- exit

vzdump --stop --dumpdir /root 101

vzctl destroy 101

vzrestore /root/vzdump-openvz-101-2011_08_25-05_03_20.tar 101

vzctl start 101
vzctl enter 101
- ping google.com [works fine]
- vim [works fine]
- yum update [works fine]
- top [works fine]
- iotop

[root@mycontainer /]# iotop

Not sure why iotop doesn't work in a container restored with vzrestore. I tried also a lot of other commands, but so far only iotop showed a problem.

I also tried to restore with a different VMID, but same problem.

Any idea what the problem could be?

latest version is vzdump: 1.2-14, pls use this one and report any issues.

Yes, that is the version I tried. No, idea why I wrote 1.2.3

Latest entry in the change log was:

2011-05-24 Proxmox Support Team <support@proxmox.com>
* OpenVZ.pm (resume_vm): remove --skiplock flag

Well, I reinstalled everything, and now iotop doesn't work in any container (even one that was not restored). I am not able anymore to run iotop successfully in any container with sl6 (but it works fine on the host).

In other words vzdump/vzrestore work fine and there is no bug at all.
