Yes, that is probably the way to go if you want to use the filesystem. ;-) I mean you cannot grow it using the GUI tools. Actually, yes, growing was a little pain because you cannot simply do online growing, since you cannot grow from inside, and you cannot simply mount it when it's running. I...

I have created since a lot of XFS containers, and it works with little problems. The method is either create a small almost empty container, create an XFS disk image (create an image, format XFS, mount, rsync my system template over, unount and replace image in the container config file), or...

Not to protect the proxmox people :D but while it is well known that OpenVZ was many ways superior to cgroups, it has been fallen seriously behind of the kernel development due to politics and various technical problems and proxmox is not really in the position to develop openvz or fix cgroups...

Just adding a different story: Host was offline for a while, came up again, and mon was stuck at "handle_auth_request failed to assign global_id". I went out reading, and when I was back (after 15 minutes) the mon was in again. It tried probing for about 10 minutes, then started synchronising...

2478 - open (kernel question) 2477 - packaging problem 2464 - apparmor config problem? 2457 - worksforme 2450 - amd gpu related, investigating 2448 - some dbus corder case, but no comment on it 2446 - unreproducible 2443 - dupe 1649, basically that iowait cannot be checkpointed, but they cannot...

I have directly responded to the post: "bug, hang, crash" I agree, and I have tried to browse the issues but (for random sampling) found no relevant critical problem. Do you have any specific list of critical issues which are blocking the normal everyday use? If you have a list of critical...

Only 6 open active bugs seems like a progress to me. No major hang, crash visible, even when I have browsed through the non-bug tagged issues.

I wouldn't say it's easy to tell where are we now, or when the developers have checked the state of affairs last time, and what works and what not and what's blocking and where, and where is progress and what's stuck, et cetera...

It's a longer list but yes, you are right, somehow I haven't opened it yet. Now I have.

I also remember, half a decade ago that someone have complained about various mount(ed) namespaces and that their freeze isn't well developed in the kernel, but since then a lot of years have came to pass, and it may work. I probably shall play a little with criu and lxc and see what I get, but...

I understand that you don't think that. Have you ever seen OpenVZ? It also have done the "impossible", and had a working checkpointing and freeze/thaw infrastructure. Like: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/freezer-subsystem.txt I guess you never heard of criu either?

It's been more than 2 years now since I last asked about the status report of online migration of containers. Oh, and got no answer, so it's been 5 years since I have heard anything about this from you guys. Would be nice to know that at least you keep in mind that we're right here waiting...

Maybe not just yet: https://www.phoronix.com/review/bcachefs-linux-67 (Apart from that it is way too young to be considered anyway. Maybe in 3-5 years.)

[...] So I went out checking, and found: (2024) it have gotten way faster [that's excellent]; (2024) it is not advised to SSD media due to extreme CoW wearout (write multiplication) [not excellent]; (2015) it is not advised for any load with small writes (databases, containers, ...) (but I...

Are they? A few years agot its performance was still rather questionable. I see that newer benchmarks are getting better results but haven't found any recent seriously looking comparison.
