Compiling Debian + OpenVZ /w VSwap ?

MrAndroid

Hey Everyone.

Has anyone had any success building OpenVZ with VSWAP on Debian, I've tried to compile it using the RHEL VSwap patches and it compiles, but doesn't boot.

So I was wondering if anyone else has any success at it? I really hate CentOS and prefer Debian, but would prefer the VSWAP feature.

Did you try converting an OpenVZ .rpm to .deb, such as described here: https://plus.google.com/114658067490332530482/posts/dbHMM22nRv1

Ah, I got the Debian kernel and tried the rhel 6 OpenVZ Patch which is ment to work; I'll give this a go.

We used the alien method on our stuff when we've needed to rush out dev kernels.

No issues to date, works nicely :)

On the .32 kernels we were having to rush some since it was blowing out all the time. :(

Thanks.

I prefer Debian, out-of-the-box Debian uses around 32MB of RAM on a server, where as CentOS uses around 120MB
