  • A Hardware Node may hang (with "Route hash chain too long! Adjust your secret_interval!" messages) due to a bug in the on demand emergency route cache flushing code (OpenVZ Bug #1378)
  • The values of entries in the /proc/diskstats file may be set to zero (OpenVZ Bug #1373)
  • A kernel panic may occur on an attempt to mount a corrupted partition if the 'reiserfs' module is loaded.
  • A kernel bug may occur due to the timer list corruption if several Containers are using NFS mounts at the same time
  • A kernel panic may occur when deleting an audit rule from the Hardware Node (OpenVZ Bug #1351)
  • A kernel panic may occur on the Destination Node during the online migration of a Container with a TUN device
