We are running several Proxmox VE servers, currently on 2.6.24, planning to upgrade to 2.6.32. As there are several reported (minor) stability and performance problems, we are in no rush to go ahead as the current kernel is quite stable for us.
If you are running a mixed OpenVZ/KVM environment on 1.6/2.6.32 (especially if you have upgraded from 1.5/2.6.24) please share your experience by answering the following questions:
- did the upgrade (especially kernel) happen without any problems?
- are your systems generally stable since the kernel upgrade?
- how is load on OpenVZ guests and the host (has load generally gone up or down) ?
- how is system-wide IO responsiveness, especially when vzdump is running?
- have you noticed anything particular after the upgrade (not limited to performance) ?
- did anything break after the upgrade that you had to solve?
Don't forget to include short specification of your hardware (this is ours):
Intel G45 chipset, Core2Quad CPU, 8GB RAM, Adaptec 2610 controller, 6x 250GB SATA RAID10
