Hi
as I found no better place to discuss this I try this one - please redirect me to the proper place if I missed it in my search.

First I had to do some tricks to get it installed:
perl-LockFile-Simple and cstream need to get installed (typically from dag.wieers.com repos).
Then the vzdump-1.2-6 rpm could get installd and after that I had to:
ln -s /usr/share/perl5/PVE /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/PVE

(Thanks go to Chris Schuld http://chrisschuld.com/2009/11/installing-vzdump-for-openvz-on-centos/ )

Now everything seems fine, but I get a strange internal error in the log and can't figure out why - any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Code:

Dear Dietmar,
thanks for the pointer - I have to investigate this further I think, as Redhat EL5 / CentOS 5 is running a much older kernel than mentioned in this link I can not make sense yet, but then it might also relate to backports done to either the kernel or the lvm tools.
Anyways, it is comforting that this seems to be a "no problem" internal error :)

My last question would be: Is there a "right" place to look for a current vzdump in RPM or SRPM packaging? The one on at http://download.openvz.org/contrib/utils/vzdump/ doesn't seem to be a recent release/update.

Thank you in advance
