| |
Hi!
The Linux-v3.7 is out, and it's good time to release the next version of the checkpoint-restore tool.
This is mostly bugfix and improvements release, however it's worth mentioning some new interesting features
* Proper COW mappings handling Now anonymous private mappings are not COW-ed at restore, but pages that were shared remain such [1]
* Full support for PF_PACKET sockets, thus letting us to C/R the tcpdump tool
* The --shell-job option, which makes it possible to dump apps launched from one shell and restore them in another [2]
Some features are still available with the custom kernel, but things are eventually getting merged upstream. In particular the 3.7 now has support for C/R-ing of LXC containers' network devices, the initial support for packet sockets and a couple of fixes for TCP repair code.
The v0.3 can be downloaded from http://download.openvz.org/criu/crtools-0.3.tar.bz2 The project home is at http://criu.org
