Yeah, there are certainly a lot of shades of gray here. I've been talking to some HPC guys in the last couple of days. They certainly have a need for checkpoint/restart, but much less of a need for doing entire containers. It also occurs to me that we have the potential to pull some long-out-of-tree users back in. VMADump users, for instance: http://bproc.sourceforge.net/c268.html If we could do *just* a selective checkpoint of a single process's VMAs, the bproc users could probably use sys_checkpoint() in some way. That's *way* less than an entire container, but it would be really useful to some people. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
