:) Had you use Ubuntu you could probably say something like "kernel 4.2 should be released as linux-generic-lts-wily for ubuntu 14.04 in about two months, and we can switch to distro-supported package then" Had you use Oracle Linux with support subscription, you could probably nag them about when they would relase unbreakable enterprise kernel release 4, which should be newer kernel, with some features added by oracle, tested and supported to run on oracle linux (which is mostly a clone of RHEL, with some additions) Had you use RHEL with support subscription, you could probably ask Redhat to backport kernel fix for this particular issue to RHEL 7's kernel. Since you use Centos, your best bet would probably: - Hope someone else nags Redhat, so the fix would eventually trickle down to centos. OR - Use 4.2 kernel, with its consequences (e.g. not tested and supported by redhat). OR - Try kernel 4.1. That version should be an LTS kernel, and elrepo would probably release kernel-lt 4.1 for rhel/centos7 (like they did with rhel/centos 5 and 6) sometime in the future. Being longterm kernel, you should be able to stick with kernel 4.1.x for a few years, without having to upgrade to mainline/stable kernel. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
