    OpenVZ Ploop support

    maria has even more links to deleted files in /tmp for some reason (not that it matters, any more than zero is an issue). it's still better than mysql :) however, im not always aware and can't vette every piece of software my customers will run, so migratability could be an issue without this...

    OpenVZ Ploop support

    in an ideal world of cooperative under-one-person/design's control yes, that'd be great, but I support multiple different customers with various versions of mysql and debian etc etc. It's a big mixed bag. Any proper virtualization/containerization environment can support these disparate servers...

    container live migration failure w/mysqld

    some technical elements brought here from http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/11983-OpenVZ-Ploop-support bug is caused by mysql keeping FH's open on unlinked files: https://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2242 a patch is out for that. However, I suspect think this will not work with rsync...

    OpenVZ Ploop support

    Right now im under the belief that use of ploop for containers would solve the mysql migration issue by providing an actual filesystem image where inodes map to the same files on any host once live-migrated (vs living on the very different filesystems of the hosts). If im wrong, then we can...

    container live migration failure w/mysqld

    Where we at with this? Seems no replies in a couple months and this is a major blocking issue. Put simply "cannot migrate typical LAMP server" which is 80% of my installs (and probably the world), and never mind if mysql is actually writing at the time or recently, it just has to be running to...

    OpenVZ Ploop support

    Central storage: meant NFS or the like. Complexifies things needlessly in my environment. Backup speed isnt a big deal to me right now (backing up with rsync to an old recycled target with --link-dest is pretty fast, even across 10M files (Im using linux-vserver right now) -but isnt quite a...
