Bug with amount of processors used by OpenVZ

[mikhmv]

Hi,
In current proxmox exist bug with amount of processors which can use OpenVZ.

Fragment of Config file:

# CPU fair sheduler parameter
CPUUNITS="1000"
CPUS="1"
VE_ROOT="/var/lib/vz/root/$VEID"
VE_PRIVATE="/var/lib/vz/private/$VEID"
OSTEMPLATE="ubuntu-8.0-standard_8.04-1_amd64"
ORIGIN_SAMPLE="pve.auto"
IP_ADDRESS="192.168.2.73"
HOSTNAME="Xfce4_8core_x64-IP73.home"

But it is used all processors on machine:

root@Xfce4_8core_x64-IP73:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep processor 
processor    : 0
processor    : 1
processor    : 2
processor    : 3
processor    : 4
processor    : 5
processor    : 6
processor    : 7

In previous version (at least 2 months ago) this work correctly.

This is a known OpenVZ issue - it never worked on kernel 2.6.24

Hi Dietmar,

It was work!!!
Around one or 2 months ago I was have to change this parameter (CPUs) to 8 on 1 VM because it used only 1 core.

But anyway, Thanks for information.
I will not wait to fixing this bug...

Hi Dietmar,

It was work!!!

feel free and grab the version from 2 months (its the 1.3 ISO) and test it again. but it just not worth the time as a feature which is not implemented cannot work

Agree. Exist more simple ways to limit processors...

Especially because I am need this feature only once. Only for one test....
