you certainly do not want to specify eth0:0 which isn't an
interface but at best an alias ... if you want to get an
alias (why would you need it for? ... ah ifconfig, I see :)
then better use something like:

 --interface hansi=eth0:192.168.3.27/24

yes, but I guess as with most distros there are weird
dependancies across the packages .. like for example
that basesystem needs cpio and cpio won't do without
setserial :) or like fileutils require automount and
automount will drag in eject ... well you get the idea

In general it would be a great thing if folks really
good with a distro (or distributors) could do some 
kind of linux-vserver dependancy graph, which would
allow to fix or ignore certain dependancies for vserver
guests (saving a lot of space and trouble) without
causing the tiniest update to drag in the 'missing'
350MB you carefully avoided in the first place ...

best,
Herbert

well, while I consider it an excellent idea to remove
the v_ssh wrapper (as it just causes trouble anyway)
I consider the other v_* wrappers or the idea of a 
general wrappertool (which might work for all kind of
scripts and tools) a good idea ...

Re: [Vserver] How to build first vserver ?

2005-07-22 Thread Kevin Pendleton
Sorry, if it doesn't say this somewhere else - that is the list of rpms 
installed when you just choose minimal during a normal install of the 
OS.  Obviously, not all of them are needed and can be adjusted by each 
user.  This gives the opposite approach from Enrico's option, which only 
installs 5 packages or something like that.

[Vserver] Vserver guest os' and virtual interfaces ?

2005-07-22 Thread Brian Ipsen
Hi,

 On emore question from me (I'm trying to catch up - the more I know, the
more I'm able to help others ;-)):

I tried to build a vserver using:

# ./vserver-build --force -m yum -n dns-int1 --hostname ns2-int.domain.dk
--netdev=eth0:0 --interface=192.168.3.27 --netmask=255.255.255.0 -- -d wbel4

Fine, I try to start the server:

# vserver dns-int1 start
Cannot find device "eth0:0"
Starting system logger:[  OK  ]

Hmmm... Stopping it, then:

# vserver dns-int1 stop
Shutting down system logger:   [  OK  ]
Starting killall:  [  OK  ]
A timeout occured while waiting for the vserver to finish and it was
killed by sending a SIGKILL signal. Please investigate the reasons
and/or increase the timeout in apps/vshelper/sync-timeout.
Cannot find device "eth0:0"

Okay... Seems strange with the interface... Let's see:

# ifconfig eth0:0
eth0:0Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:03:47:78:2F:D1
  inet addr:192.168.3.27  Bcast:192.168.3.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

It's there... Any special reason for the guest OS not being able to find/use
this interface ??

Hi,

I've been surfing a bit around in search of a guide on how to set up/build
the first vserver - but haven't been able to locate one...

My "base" vserver is up and running (with the vserver kernel) - the problem
is creating a virtual server... I'm running WhiteBox Enterprise Linux 4 (a
RHEL clone), but have difficulties figuring out how to create the
distribution stuff - and where does it pick the RPM packages from ??

Any hints, links, instructions etc are appreciated ...

I haven't considered that option myself - I'm so used to having the
"wrapper" scripts ;-)

In general, I think it could be a good idea to have a chapter in the INSTALL
file regarding upgrading from previous versions (especially if there are
changes, which requires "reverting" back to to old init.d script and
removing the wrapper scipts)...

sounds like a bug in 0.30.208, IIRC, the v_* helpers 
were considered for removal or so .. maybe they
have been removed and your old ones do not work
with the new tools ... didn't get to check it yet

Hi,

 After upgrading to v2.0-rc8.1 and installing utils 0.30.208 I get this
error dusing startup of my server:

Starting v_httpd:  exec --ip eth0 /etc/init.d/httpd start
/usr/lib/util-vserver/vsysvwrapper: line 44: exec: --: invalid option

Any idea what is going wrong ??

Yes but obviously not enough.

I thought the problem was lack of c99 compiler in combination with
dietlibc as I have successfully ported to woody before I started to
use dietlibc.

Anyway sarge is considered stable now. On the other hand I know that it
is a pain to upgrade lot of hosts without too much downtime. Vserver hosts are
not that hard as they tend to have just vservers on it and they do not need
to be rebooted (unless kernel is updated, which is not needed).
