[Users] Is this mkswap message from OpenVZ?

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to track down the cause of the error message below. It is encountered when we try to enable a swapfile for a low-end VM. The VPS provider uses OpenVZ. # ./vm-swapfile.sh Swapfile already allocated swapon: /swapfile: swapon failed: Operation not permitted

[Users] OpenVZ,, CentOS SCL and failed cron jobs?

Hi Everyone, I'm performing a post-mortem on our [failed] disaster recovery procedures. We have an OpenVZ-based CentOS 7 VM. We use it for an open source project website and wiki. Our backup job in /etc/cron.daily has not been executing (nor has other cron jobs, like yum-daily.cron). We cannot
