[Vserver] Problems configure SuSE 9.0 and VSERVER [init]

2005-02-23 Thread Manuel Evers
Hi all,

i`am trying to configure SuSE 9.0 and VSERVER, the Kernel Patch was applied and 
is running.
I`ve installed 2 vservers, with the cmd vserver name enter i login and thats 
running too.
But if i try to startup the servers, the init scripts hang and the server 
doesn`t start.
Someone any idea how to setup this? Tryd also the SuSE 8.2 patches to rc and 
vserver, but they doesnt match :).
Im not really good in shel programming ^^.

Thank you all for the answers

Manuel Evers

One way to solve that issue is to enter the vserver and disable all 
services (chkconfig may be your friend). Then starting and stopping the 
vserver should work. Then enter the server again and add only the 
services you really need: sshd, apache, mysql or whatever. Bootsplash, 
network, acpid et al: you don't need them in a vserver. Now you should 
have a vserver which you can start and stop. If not, investigate the 
startupscripts and see, what they need in addition. It might be 
neccessary that you add some services manually, because chkconfig makes 
some assumptions (i.e. for ssh you need network running, but in vserver 
you configure network from ouside...) 
 
-This should work, but untested with suse 9.0

 I have to admit that I do not know anything about 'urpmi', but with
 'yum' and 'apt' I can configure the repository which is going to be
 used. This makes it possible to install FC2 guests on FC3 hosts by using
 '... -d fc2'.
 In urpmi you can choose the repository you want to install.

How do I specify this repository in the 'vserver ... build -m
urpmi' commandline?


 Using /.rpmdb is a hack; /dev would be a much nicer place because it
 is available everywhere and ignored by rpm. But there is rh bugzilla
 bug #106057 which requires that the rpm database must be both in the
 chroot-environment and in the real-root one. So the /.rpmdb has to
 stay.
 SO it seems that many vserver are sharing the /.rpmdb of my real system.
 So it sounds like all my vserver are sharing the same rpmdb which is not
 interesting. Am I wrong ?

Yes, you are wrong ;) /.rpmdb is mounted in a separate namespace
used only for exactly one 'rpm --root' operation.

What I think would be even more interesting/useful is to run UML inside a 
vserver. Has anyone tried it?

As long as you don't need skas UML will run under pretty much any system... 
even 2.2 kernels.  I don't think networking would work under Vserver as UML 
requires tun/tap support for it.

Re: [Vserver] vs1.9.4 against Debian 2.6.10-5

2005-02-23 Thread Micah Anderson
Thanks for providing this Stephen!

It is my understanding from the Debian kernel team that 2.6.8 is the
kernel that will be shipped with Sarge. The 2.6.10 kernel will go away
once 2.6.11 comes available (any day now), 2.6.8 will be supported
with security fixes and stability fixes and the 2.6.1[0|1] kernel will
be the fall-back maintenance kernel if for some reason 2.6.8 doesn't
work out. 

With this in mind, does anyone know of a debian 2.6.8 kernel patch for
vserver 1.9.4?

   I'd like to hear if you have problems with it though, since I'm
   running it in a number of places.

which should not pose a problem with ngnet ...

if somebody can provide up-to-date debian patches for
2.6.8, I could be convinced to adapt 1.9.5 to that ...
