[Bug 930652] Re: lxc swapoff: Not superuser
Thanks for reporting this bug. I see the message too. Of course the failure to unmount swap is a good thing :) I'll assume the real bug, as perceived, is that the container thinks it has something to swapoff. Fixing that will require /proc contents filtering. We can use the apparmor policy to deny read access to /proc/swaps, which replaces the error with /etc/rc0.d/S35networking: 61: /etc/rc0.d/S35networking: cannot open /proc/swaps: Permission denied * Deactivating swap... [ OK ] Another possibility of course is for /etc/rc0.d/S35networking to detect it is in a container and not try to swapoff. However, as no harm is being done to the container or the host, Im going to mark this wishlist for now. ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930652 Title: lxc swapoff: Not superuser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/930652/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Re: choosing desired os to boot over ssh
Tapas Mishra wrote: No this is not what I want.I am aware of these options. That fits your requirements pretty well if you only have two systems to choose from - run grub-reboot from init or something on the one that controls grub and each reboot will boot into the other. Otherwise I think that's the closest you'll get. To go between two systems which don't control grub you'd need to reboot from one into a system which does, then run grub-reboot, then reboot. Perhaps you could install a tiny Linux for that purpose, one that boots within seconds? -- Avi -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
Re: choosing desired os to boot over ssh
Similar to Neal, I'm scratching my head as to exactly what @Tapas wanted... The only other possibility would be to install a hypervisor (XenServer comes to mind) and access the VM's virtual console output using VNC or whatever the management app the hypervisor uses (XenCenter in case of XenServer). This will enable you to actually choose which OS to boot in the grub menu. If that still doesn't answer your needs, then I give up :-P PS: grub is actually capable of booting non-grub-using OS like Windows; you'll have to decipher the proper incantations for chainloading (plus all the complexities of juggling partitions - Windows its wickedly invasive and greedy in that regard), but it's doable.

Re: MySQL's future in Debian and Ubuntu
I have already moved some of my servers to mariadb, with minor to none downtime during the process, but I have also kept some of them stuck with mysql just because of the official support (well, it is the elected one in main repository after all) I have also done some bench marking and have also seen no loss in performance, depending on the memcache/loadbalance/db engine, it got even a little better. They have published some bug fixes that were really critical for me. And MOST OF THE TIME, the binaries and libraries are transparently compatible with MySQL, therefore, I have never had an application or frame work even realize it was not running on top of MySQL. I have seen a few discussions in the past couple of years (not sure from who) in the ubuntu-server list, and back when I have first followed this up, maintainers claimed it was not really fully compatible due to some of the dependencies that the other packages have set, and apache2 was one of the most important... So have in mind there will have a major scrub in a lot of packages to change their dependencies from mysql (and its libraries) to mariadb. Of course, its a doable task, but might be a little larger than we may first realize. 2012/2/7 Marc Deslauriers marc.deslauri...@canonical.com On Tue, 2012-02-07 at 01:50 -0800, Clint Byrum wrote: I'm writing to the greater Debian and Ubuntu community to ask for your thoughts on a proposal to drop MySQL in favor of MariaDB.

This will only get harder as the community bug tracker gets further out of sync with the private one. As a member of the security team, I think Oracle's move to a private bug tracker and not publishing details on the security issues is a disaster for Linux distributions attempting to maintain MySQL.
