Re: [Lxc-users] lxc.blkio.weight question

2013-10-17 Thread Andreas Laut
You have to run the tests on both containers at the same time, then you 
will see the difference.
If no container need IO, your first container will get the same speed as 
your second.

Hi, i'm using lxc in my project, i want to control disk io speed, so i 
use blkio.weight, but the result is confusing.

I create 2 containers lxc1 and lxc2
lxc1: lxc.blkio.weight=100;   lxc2:lxc.blkio.weight=1000
the running scripts are same in lxc1 and lxc2:
sync
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
dd if=/var/a.img of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2000
I have read [1], and I check the io scheduler:
noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]

I suppose that lxc1 is slower than lxc2, but the test turn out that 
they are in same speed.

Can you help me figure it out? Thank you.
PS: my kernel is 2.6.32, lxc version is 0.9.0

UTS != User namespace

You need CONFIG_USER_NS=y

[Lxc-users] why does lxc-checkconfig complain about CONFIG_UTS_NS=y ?

2013-10-17 Thread Harald Dunkel
Hi folks,

My kernel config file says "CONFIG_UTS_NS=y", and yet
lxc-checkconfig complains

User namespace: missing

How comes?

Version is 1.0.0 alpha1. Every helpful comment would be
highly appreciated.


Regards
Harri

Re: [Lxc-users] [Newbie] lxc container to container.

2013-10-17 Thread Andreas Laut

Hi.
I think the best is the traditionally way between two machines: Connect 
via ssh and do what you want to.
Its not a good idea in my eyes to break through the security isolation 
of containers because that could affect all of them.

(something bad like getting root of lxc host and kill process)

But maybe there is a way I didn't see.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi
What is the best approach to communicate between containers?

Basically, I need to be able to kill a process running in one 
container [ container-1 ] from another container [container-2].


Currently,
Iam able to kill a process inside a container from the host but how 
can container-2 see stuff inside container-1 ?


I understand container is for isolation but unfortunately, I have this 
scenario where container-2 need to be like a master container of 
container-1.




Thx.
Vijay.
