Wed, 13 Sep 2017 13:08:51 +1200 Hey, Just to confirm, I've happily upgraded my host and guests to Stretch. Only issues I hit related to vserver (other than systemd in the guests needing to be removed) was Java 8 and sysvinit-core. Java 8 (and some friends) check that /proc is mounted before they'll start, so I had to comment out the calls to mountpoint in the affected init.d files. The sysvinit-core postinst sends a USR1 signal to init, I found that failed so had to comment out that line to upgrade sysvinit-core. I also finally discovered the reason why some of my guests failed to start all the applications they should. Debian defaults to a runlevel of 2, but vserver to a runlevel of 3. Not all of the init.d scripts are started in runlevel 3. Cheers, Andrew On Tue, 2017-09-05 at 13:48 +0100, Ben Green wrote: > In short, no. > > You need to be careful.
