kernel 3.12 ?

[NauT]

hello from huge fun of proxmox,

i'm in love with proxmox around 1.5 years, and moved almost all my private servers to proxmox visualization.

thanks a lot for great job.

and now bad part.

do proxmox ever planing to move to more recent version of kernel ? Debian stable currently runs on 3.2 , testing is running already on 3.12.

since I'm using very very specific hardware i need always the recent version of the Kernel. Also having 3.* will give me improved working speed with my SSD disk array and also significantly improve work of Intel 10gbs lan cards.

does moving to kernel 3.* is something which is on your to-do list guys ? or there is a blocker something which is not allowing you to move to 3.* ?

thanks a lot for answer,
Moushegh

Proxmox follows the release circle from RHEL. Current release from Redhat is RHEL 6.4 using kernel 2.6.32.x. Coming RHEL 7.0 which is due to be released Q2 2014 will have kernel 3.10.x in which case proxmox will also have 3.10. My best guess will be that proxmox will release a version with kernel 3.10 shortly after the release of RHEL 7.0.

There is a 3.10 kernel in the pvetest repository:

ftp://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/wheezy/pvetest/binary-amd64/

But there is no openvz support for this kernel.

Seem that openvz devs are waiting for final rhel7 release before porting code.

But it seem that some parts of openvz are already in mainline kernel ?
I see one guy running openvz with debian 3.10 kernel here:

the 3.x mainline kernel has LXC built in, which is mostly modified openvz code ( http://openvz.livejournal.com/45647.html ) and as such its said to be possible to run LXC containers and administer them with vzctl.
However, I havent had ANY luck getting that to work when fiddling around with that for fun over the holidays.

Also from what I gathered, LXC is VERY rudimentary in its feature set and as such the aforementioned route (LXC+vzctl) will NEVER have a chance of replacing an actual openvz system (kernel+tools)
