Hello,

Is the latest kernel at this time 4.4.13-2-pve ready rebootless? So no more reboots on kernel update?


Greetings!
 
Hi Tom, thank you for your reply.

Yes, i know kernelcare and it is a very nice product, but it seems that in 4.x series of kernel the "rebootless" option has been added to it.

I suppose then, that latest pve kernel based on latest kernel 4.x doesn´t have this support, maybe is not stable and ready for production or what is exactly the reason?

Greetings!
 
Kernelcare support also our 4.4 kernel, do it seems that I do not really understand your question.

If you need rebootless updates, try Kernelcare.

Hello tom,

Yes, i maybe explained bad (i am not english native skpeaker). I refer that is supposed that latest 4.x kernel series it comes by default with some technology similar to Kernelcare, so is supposed should be possible no more reboots on kernel updates "by default"


Thanks
 
I suppose you mean ksplice? You'll have to try this manually, I don't know how well this works with the external modules we add (like zfs), but the required data is all available in our git repository.
