Package: vzdump
Version: 1.2.6-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/vzdump


If I log in into vz virtual machine via vzctl enter then vzdump
can't backup that machine and that's normal:

INFO: Can not suspend container: Resource temporarily unavailable                                                                                      
INFO: Error: foreign process 7313/16471(vzctl) inside CT (e.g. vzctl enter or vzctl exec).       

However, vzdump does not return error code when this error happens, so the chain of
shell commands like this

/usr/sbin/vzdump --suspend --compress --dumpdir /mnt/ftp/vz-$1/ --all --stdexcludes --maxfiles $MAXF $EXCL &&
echo OK 

will return OK even if vzdump fails to backup virtual machine. Thus forgotten/frozen 
vzctl exec blocks whole backup process silently and backup script does not backup
without reporting any problems.

vzdump should return some error code if it fails, or provide some other means to notify that
backup did not succeed.
