Hello,

version 0.30.205 util-vserver (alpha branch) is out. Noticable changes
are a new 'vhashify' command which is a successor of 'vunify'. It uses
some aggressive techniques like mmap'ing of files and the creation of
sparse files. To prevent data lossage, it is strongly recommended to
execute 'make check' when using non-ext3 filesystems. (Unfortunately,
the 'cmp' tool is sometimes not configured for large files and will
create false positives).

Another issue is 'vyum': the current 'yum' version makes it impossible
to execute it when the vserver is running (there, /.. might be unequal
to /). A fix for yum can be found at

       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=146650#c1

but the upstream author dislikes it. Feel free to request another fix
there ;)
