I don't know, but that's not the point. The Debian kernel team cannot support OpenVZ on its own, and it doesn't get much help from OpenVZ developers. (They did say they would support OpenVZ on Linux 2.6.32, but have already stopped doing so.) Looking at the OpenVZ patch for the RHEL 6 kernel (which is what Parallels is selling), I see that ext4 has been added to the accepted list and doesn't require special handling. So I think we could add it in Debian. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings If you seem to know what you are doing, you'll be given more to do.
