Package: vzctl
Version: 3.0.24-12
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I sent this a few months ago, but it seems to have been eaten by a
faulty MTA setup :-(.
With multiple Debian VEs installed on a host, load spikes occur
corresponding with cron job execution.
On investigation, it appeared that /etc/vz/dists/scripts/postcreate.sh
randomises run-times of entries in /etc/crontab, but doesn't touch stuff
under /etc/cron.d/
I'm not entirely sure that this patch is the correct answer (maybe it'll
break things like rsnapshot - which needs to have it's entries run in the
originally-specified order) - but it is at least a start...
Tim.
