OK. Then, we should be able to have a simple C/R framework (user and kernel) if we integrate your patchset or Oren's with Daniel's user tools : http://lxc.cvs.sourceforge.net/lxc/ I was just starting to work on Oren's patchset when you sent yours :) Thanks, C. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
