Issue #2242 has been updated by Christian Hofstaedtler.

What I said in the original report still holds true.
The point of this was that virtual.rb already gets a lot of info out of 
/proc/self/status, so OpenVZ detection can also use this. Obviously this is 
only useful if virtual.rb would read /proc/self/status once, and then do all 
the testing against the file contents in memory.
Else this will still fork a lot more than needed and therefore be unnecessarily 
slow.

Bug #2242: Simplify OpenVZ detection, based on /proc/self/status
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2242

Author: Christian Hofstaedtler
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: 
Target version: 1.6.0
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


virtual.rb currently does lot's of things to detect different virtualization 
environments. As some of them represent their state in /proc/self/status, it 
would be cool if this could be unified. Paul also wanted to create tests for 
virtual.rb, based on /proc/self/status.

OpenVZ states in /proc/self/status:

envID == 0 -> openvzhn
envID present but > 0 -> openvzve
