vzdump veids must be 3-digit ?!?

[aivanise]

Hi,

Any reason why veids in vzdump script are checked if they have 3 digits? Whats wrong with double or even single digit veids?

Openvz Documentation states that ID 1-99 are reserverd for internal use.

Interesting, looked through wiki and man pages and docs and couldn't find this restriction. Even some examples in the users guide use 2 digit veids.

Can you please tell me where is this restriction mentioned?

Thanks,
