        The users often switch to direct mode avoiding the floods
to the list but sometimes it is a problem for users browsing the

        Browse the days after this posting, the fixes usually
appear shortly after the report. What about:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-virtual-server&m=100353021013420&w=2

        This fix is included in 0.9.6, released on November 4.

        Agreed

        The first thing to try on problem is the latest release,
currently it is 0.9.8. Currently, we don't know for any pending
issues. We even think how to break the kernel more deeply :)))

        The history looks good - there are no recent problems reported
for 0.9.8. May be the bugs are hiding more successfully ... :) The release
will be marked stable when many users report that they are happy in
production :) For example, I don't have a clear picture how many users
use it in production. It is hard to deduce it by subscribing to the mail
list. Even I don't have it in production mostly due to some my
softwares not ported to 2.4 and mostly due to the stability of the
latest 2.4 kernels. With the recent kernels the picture should change,
I hope. Of course, the tests work as expected. May be we need a
voting system, where the result can help to the new users to
decide whether it is good to jump on the new versions :)

        I see that this thread continued directly, sorry. You
need just to upgrade.
