Upgrading ProxMox kernel to 3.10 or later?

[lifeboy]

I have some new proxmox installations and see that it uses an old kernel by default. I'd like at 3.10 or later, since I use btrfs on some drives (on ceph servers).

Is it safe to just upgrade this and what is the reason for the old kernel by default?

>>Is it safe to just upgrade this

yes, it's safe

>>what is the reason for the old kernel by default?

no openvz support

no openvz support

Any news on this subject?

No news yet from openvz team. (But I known they are working on it)

No, for some reasons, OpenVZ does not tell anything about there future plans.

I started to think about docker ... But lets talk about that on pve-devel.

I also find it a bit strange that openvz has no patches ready for 3.10 kernel given the fact that Redhat announced that 3.10 would be the kernel for RHEL 7 back in early 2013.

Docker has full support from Redhat so this would be a safe choice. Read this article: https://access.redhat.com/articles/881893 (requires access to Redhat Networks)

A small copy/paste:
"For the initial launch of Red Hat's Docker, you can run Docker containers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7) systems. However, in the near future, you will be able to use Project Atomic to create cloud images that are built specifically to run Docker containers in OpenStack, VirtualBox or Linux KVM environments."

And the release notes for RHEL 7 docker containers: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/7.0_Release_Notes/chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7.0_Release_Notes-Linux_Containers_with_Docker_Format.html (in public domain)

But docker is something different, so it is not a real replacement for OpenVZ ...

But please open a thread in pve-devel if you want to discuss that.

I know. It was just to complete the picture and end this thread in a proper way.

How I can upgrade to kernel 3.10?

How I can upgrade to kernel 3.10?

As far as I can see it's in the repository, but I have decided to stay with the 2.6 kernel.

The machines running ceph with btrfs run Ubuntu with a 3.1x kernel and not Proxmox. The proxmox machines will just be using xfs then for now.

yes, docker is hot, probably the most hottest project now.
I'd be glad to run docker on proxmox.

yes, i like docker and proxmox and also be happy running docker on proxmox
