[Vserver] dhcpd service within a vserver and the newstyle config
Hello. On my servers i used the Vserver-Patch 2.0 and i like it. So i took the patch vs2.1.0-pre7 on my laptop with 2.6.13.1 Kernel. Works find with Debian/Sarge and the Debian util-vserver from Sid. Now i ve two problems. I want to use an dhcpd within the vserver guest and i want diffrent networkdevice for the vps. Question #1 Whats the right setup for an dhcpd inside a vps? the dhcpd (or dnsmasq, provides dhcp/dns) I need some capabilities. cat /etc/vservers/mobil/bcapabilities CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_BROADCAST Okay, that works fine and i can start the dnsmasq (dhcp-Service). The old Config Style use this Entries: IPROOT=192.168.0.210 IPROOTBCAST=192.168.0.255 IPROOTBCAST=255.255.255.255 I try this cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/0/devath0 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/0/ip 192.168.100.210 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/0/prefix 24 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/0/name mo0 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/1/devath0 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/1/ip 192.168.100.255 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/1/prefix 24 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/1/name mo1 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/2/devath0 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/2/ip 255.255.255.255 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/2/prefix 32 cat /etc/vservers/mobil/interfaces/2/name mo2 Maybe the ip/netmask setup is the Problem? Question #2 How can i switch between 2 nics? This mobile Vserver guest shouldt provide some services on my ath0 (wireless network) or on my eth0 (wired) device. The Host should have network access too. Whats the right solution for this? Put the VPS on an dummy0 and add this to an bridge with the connected device? Or something else?

I make my clones using

The problem was that I accidently ran
setattr --iunlink
on a clone etc directory instead of removing the directoy to copy real files
in place. This changed the template /etc which caused the error. Normally I
would not have even found it since I would not run a template, but on this
test bed the template is being used.
To cure the problem I ran setattr --~iunlink on the template /etc directory

Or something else? depends on the networks you use ... if you have for example 192.168.100.x on ath0 and 192.168.200.x on eth0, then you probably want a setup for the following: mo0=ath0:192.168.100.210/24 mo1=eth0:192.168.200.210/24 192.168.100.255/24 192.168.200.255/24 255.255.255.255/32 > Thanks for any hints :-).

note: the --iunlink sets the 'immutable' flag as well as
the 'immutable unlink' flag, basically making those files
immutable against changes, which not even the CoW link
breaking will break, as they are not hardlinked anymore
the --~iunlink removes both flags and makes them normal
files again ...
thanks for the followup!

ok now i am totally confused. i thought running --iunlink made the links
breakable/copyable under the 2.1 setups?
so then if --iunlink creates permanent links to files that cannot be touched,
what do i run to take advantage of the 2.1 CoW ?

yes, it does ...

not _links_ that is the important detail here ...
touch /tmp/x
setattr --iunlink /tmp/x
and you get an immutable file, you can remove,
but not alter ...
touch /tmp/a
ln /tmp/a /tmp/b
setattr --iunlink /tmp/a
and you have two files (a,b) which are unified
(i.e. a hardlink to the same inode) which will
be CoW breakable on devel versions (2.1.x)
hope that clarifies,

oh my. i think i did it all wrong then. if i was supposed to run the setattr
cmd on the files themselves.. i ran it on the links in the clones.. according
to above i should have run it on the template files.

both 'file' and 'link' are identical and indistinguishable
(this is a property of hard links) so the choice is yours
(i.e. both will have the flags set afterwards :)

[Vserver] this doc needs checking for accuracy
and possible additions proper editing will be done after the information within is accurate. - set up host as per gentoo how-to and create template as it specifies. add desired common services. start and test the template. create new-guest using skeleton method. cd into it and remove all entries then copy with cp -la gentoo/* new-guest to create hard links to the gentoo template. cd into new-guest and remove completely, etc, root, home and var i have setups for most internet services on the gentoo template and a regular user defined therefore home gets moved too. (should /usr/portage be moved and later recopied as 'real' files?) if i want to remove the ability to run certain services in this vserver, now is the time to remove the links to them so they are no longer a part of this guest. this is only necessary when allowing others shell access. most people would create a very minimal template server so this normally would not be necessary, but with my setups, i want all services available to every server even if i do not run them. then run setattr --iunlink * ONLY in the following directories inside new-guest bin sbin lib usr/bin usr/sbin usr/lib (should there be others?) setattr --~iunlink undoes any damage done to files that should not have that attribute. then cp -Rp /vservers/gentoo/etc and var and root and home this will give real files to edit and use in the new-guest config. configure new-guest as necessary start new-guest and enter to verify its operation. --- -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.

Thanks for the comments. will make the changes..
on a further note since I see there is a meeting starting, after doing things
the way Aiken does them, using the following:
cp -al master/* avon
find avon -type f -exec setattr --iunlink {} ';'
i then went into the new guest and into the etc/conf.d directory to edit the
hostname file. when I tried to save it I got
Error saving file: Too many links
I can not remember what I did when I was getting the 'Too many links'
error. I am playing with cow stuff on ext3.
A simple test to make sure the cow is working
mkdir a

[Vserver] I just thought of some severe implications of unifying
What if I need to move a guest that was linked to its template and has other services installed ,to another physical host that already has its own template.. would i move the guest and copy its template and they would be unique compared to the rest of the guests on the destination server? if the implications are serious enough, i will have to simply clone by tarring and put up with the wasted disk space in favor of easy failover this scenario would be just wanting to move it to a new server leaving the rest alone.. if there was a host hardware failure i would move everything to a fresh host. but what does that do to the links when moving to another drive? it would be same file system, reiserfs -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
