After updating to 1.6 I cannot use vzps or vztop anymore.

This is what I get from vztop

also here, thanks for reporting.
 
It works with the 2.6.24 kernel branch.
 
Let me know if you need any additional information, I am also having networking problems with all CentOS based containers as of 1.6 as well. Without this file "route-venet0" the container cannot access the network. It gets deleted by the add ip script.
 

They suggest to upgrade to a more recent version of vzprocps:
Which version are you using?

I am getting segfaults with version 2.0.11-1dso2 myself, but that is not the
current version.
There happened to be fixes for 64bit related segfaults IIRC, but no updated
Debian package yet (I have contacted the maintainer some weeks ago; update is
planned, but not done).


Could this be done?
 
pstree can help in finding out which processes belong to which virtual machine while vzps and vztop do not work.

Still, it would be nice to get the update of vzprocps available for proxmox.
 
I would be willing to look into it. From an initial strace, the problem looks to be rather trivial (/proc/meminfo has grown past the maximum buffer size (1023) that vzprocps currently deals with for that file).

Of course there might be other problems lateron...

vzprocps isn't a standard debian package, and I don't see any source packages on download.proxmox.com. So could you tell me where to find the source package, so I can take a look at it?
 
Will Thorsten maintain the debian packages, or did you take over package management?

I contacted Thorsten about a week ago, no reply so far. His website hasn't been updated in quite a while (late note from November 2009). So I would guess he is not maintaining the package any more. It was never released to any official repository anyways, as far as I can tell.

You are welcome to use my package as is. I do not have the time and resources to update and maintain it on a regular basis.
