Limitations: small fixes, workaround for checkpointing
Since this is a live CD, everything is created in RAM, i.e. is not persistent. If you will create a number of VEs, they will not be available after the reboot.
A number of [[VE]]s that you can create using this live CD greatly depends on the amount of RAM your machine has, since the system uses RAM instead of a hard disk. On a 1 gigabyte RAM machine you can create about 5 VEs. To work around this, you have to have a disk partition mounted to <tt>/vz/private/</tt> for CentOS-based CD and to <tt>/var/lib/vz/private</tt> for KNOPPIX-based CD.
OpenVZ disk quota does not work on LiveCD at the moment due to {{Bug|558}}, so <code>df</code> in [[VE]] shows ludicrous values if quota is on.
Because of it on CentOS 4.4 LiveCD disk quota is switched off by default.
Checkpointing (and consequently live migration) doesn't work on KNOPPIX LiveCD at the moment due to {{Bug|606}}. But You can work around it '''works''' on by mounting some filesystem (<tt>ext2</tt>, <tt>ext3</tt>, <tt>tmpfs</tt>) to <tt>/var/lib/vz/private</tt> directory.On CentOS-based LiveCD!<tt>tmpfs</tt> is mounted on this directory automatically during the booting.
