Is it safe to upgrade glibc?

  • Hi everybody,


    I really need the glibc 2.14 libraries but OMV is based on Debian 7 so there is only 2.13


    Now I thought about adding the experimental repos to the apt sources and now I would be able to install them but because of dependencies it also would change and remove some other packets (like "locales") and I am not sure about them being important for OMV operations. Is it safe to do this?


    Here is the dry-run-output of apt-get:




    Best regards and thanks in advance

    NO. Bad idea. Even harder to go back. Try it in a VM. You will see.

    omv 7.0.5-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.8 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.13 | compose 7.1.4 | k8s 7.1.0-3 | cputemp 7.0.1 | mergerfs 7.0.4


    omv-extras.org plugins source code and issue tracker - github - changelogs

  • Thank you for your fast and clear response.


    Is it right that there are no near-future-plans to upgrade to a newer Debian (Jessie) release which would be then with glibc 2.14?
    So then OMV is not suitable for me, very sad because I really like the webinterface. :(

    OMV 3 will be based on Jessie but I have no timeline for that. What do you need glibc 2.14 for? You could always run the program in a docker or virtual machine.

  • It is needed for a gameserver software.
    In the meantime I followed your hint with the virtual machine and intalled KVM-QEMU.
    Server is running, performance is ok. Would be better without virtualization. I will give it a try but if performance is too bad, I will revert back to old-school administrated Debian-Server without OMV :(

    Try docker with jessie. Performance should be almost bare metal.

  • Mastada, may I ask which gameserver software? @bonkersGER has half a dozend gameservers running inside a single vbox vm (running windows).
