Safest .32 OpenVZ Kernel?

edited May 2012 in General

I've really started to hate OpenVZ, one of my servers has been on 2.6.32-042stab053.5, but constantly experiences the vzquota's soft locks. I upgraded to the 055 but that just panics at boot.

I have another one that is on 2.6.32-042stab049.6, and surprisingly it has had little issue apart from a lockup every month or so.

Is it best to downgrade to 049 from 053?

As I say, I am really starting to hate OpenVZ. I require the .32, does anyone have a suggested version that actually has some stability.

    049 had tons of issues, we had it crash ~8 times over the period of us being in buffalo on a single node.

    .32 is simply unstable and what might be stable for a few users is going to blow up for others. There are a few hosts on here that claim .32 is 100% stable, but that's only 'for now'. They just recently patched a major crash issue that can happen to anyone.

    I don't see why anyone even attempted to use the .32 kernel. It's too new. I won't use it for at least a year for the same reason I won't migrate to CentOS 6 for at least a year.

    Because the vSwap feature is pretty amazing.

    I can assure you stability is much more awesome :P Is this for VM clients or for your MC stuff?

    The 49 is running a custom PiePanel setup (so Minecraft), and seems run it fairly well. Although has a lock up about once a month.

    The 53 is running Solus. Lets not get started with the SolusVM I LOVE EATING DATABASES bug. But is now locking up once a day.

    I had a kernel guy go through the RHEL 2.6.32 kernel and he said it was far closer to 2.6.39 than 2.6.32 since redhat backports so much code.
