CentOS virt - Mar 2011 - Next3 (eg ext3 snapshots support) on OpenNode / CentOS 5 / RHEL 5 howto and rpms

We have created an next3 and patched e2fsprogs OpenNode / CentOS 5 / RHEL 5 rpms
- installable from opennode-test yum repo. Provided next3 kernel module is
currently built against  RHEL5 OpenVZ kernel used in OpenNode - so installing
this next3 rpm package on your CentOS 5 or RHEL 5 host will install also OpenVZ
patched RHEL5 kernel and newer e2fsprogs package.

Installation and usage instructions are provided by this howto document:
http://opennode.activesys.org/documentation/howtos/next3-snapshots/
There is also simple next3 snapshotting automation script available for use with
cron - usage and download link provided in howto document referenced above.

Impressive.
I guess I picked the wrong time to upgrade to ext4 :-)
