thanks

In the video you mentioned that now openvz has got the udev to work inside the container. Can you tell me that is starting from which kernel?

I am using 2.6.18-92.1.13.e15.028stab-059 on CentOS, and another 2.6.23(i think) on ubuntu 8.04. And I remember when I was trying to create a container according to the wiki, I still have to turn off the udev. So it's very nice to have this available. But I just don't know which kernel supports it.
thanks

I'm not sure it requires a particular version of the kernel... but I'm not sure. Just have the latest available for the branch you are using and you shouldn't have a problem. As mentioned in the video, the default OS Templates provided by the OpenVZ project have had udev installed and running for some time... approaching two year now I think.

It is an OS Template thing and not a kernel thing. Using the same kernel as before but using one of the new official OS Templates (CentOS 5), udev was setup to run automatically. I'm not really sure what they did differently in the OS template to make it work. I verified the udev package and it was the stock package from CentOS.

I was so impressed with the new official OS Templates, I rebased my contributed OS Templates off of them.
