Re: [Vserver] VServer forum
Hi! Well, my main reasoning was that there is no VServer Forum yet... There is a mailing list, but with mailing lists it's much more difficult to reply nicely to postings when you don't have the original message anymore. The forum does not have this problem. Here all messages & postings can be replied to indefinitely. But I agree with you, and we leave it up to the community whether a VServer forum will be endorsed.

A _well-organized_, active forum would be nice. IMHO, one of the main problems (_the_ main problem?) with linux-vserver is the lack of good documentation and support. No offense... I mean, Herbert is doing a great job, but for the average user, searching messages from old mailing list postings, IRC logs and poorly styled/"incomplete" web pages (the flower page being one example) is not the way to have it in the long run.

Mailing lists are excellent but for me I find it difficult to wait through a search of tens of thousands of msgs for some content I am looking for. There is an extreme convenience in mailing lists in that, one.. they come into your home therefore seem more personal... two you can maintain your own 'database' of sorts to search at your liesure however it does get to be difficult when manipulating,say, 25,000 msgs. :) The linux-vserver project has, I believe, one of the most responsive mailing lists I have seen, and the irc is excellent for solving problems in real-time. I use the gentoo forum as an example. It is large, very active, and I have yet to do a search that did not result in a fast return on my search criteria. New content not covered was responded to quickly by many, some quite helpful and others not so much... just have to use judgement. To me forums seem less 'personal' in that I have to 'go' somewhere to get my answers and for that effort it still is not in real time as irc would be. I think the primary beauty of forums is topic organization and speed and ease of searches. However, in this case, a forum is just one more place to pay attention to. I personally think the mailing list and irc are sufficient for any discussion. both have their strong and weak points... what would be nice instead of an interactive forum, but a bit difficult to implement, would be to create some kind of parsing program to parse the entire mailing list archives into a database, then present the database data in 'forum' form for easy searching and reading. I believe this would answer a need for a 'forum style' facility, and would make finding answers *considerably* easier for everyone. I don't know of a topic that has not been resolved somewhere in the mailing list archives. Resolutions done on irc, if not covered in the mailiing list could be submitted to the database for inclusion, and by running this update program a few times a day looking for new data, the 'forum' facility would be updated almost in real time. I also believe in people having the freedom to create a forum if they wish, but it would be a personal thing run as many personal gentoo forums are and not officially sanctioned.. I think the developers have enough to do keeping up with mailing list and irc and I would never expect them to add more to their list to watch... what we need to do as users is to assist them by developing this huge wealth of data already existing in the mailing list archives and in irc logs into some kind of organized, easy to use, one-stop information facility like this forum-database idea. > -- > > rgds > Stephen > ___ > Vserver mailing list > Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver > -- 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'.

They are also serialized, and do not require polling. Whenever I have to use a broken medium (such as e.g. Sveasoft, which is the only way they support their product), I find myself I have to enable email notification on responses to individual topics.

[Vserver] VServer forum
Hi all. As you might have seen, I am totally a newbie here. I would like to say something here though. I for once found it rather confusing to find the infor needed to get going with vservers. Without the help of many others here I could not get much done. However, I really welcome the idea of a Vserver forum because the benefits of sticky topics and distinct categories. Sticky topics would just pop right out of the pages when a user access a category. I also like the search features of all the forums that I have visited because I just simply do a search and all the related answers would come. Btw, not everybody knows how to use IRC and is on IRC. Not everybody would like to receive tons of emails everyday. Forum is just more user friendly and more accessible to newbies like me. And not everybody lives in the same time zone with me. Please don't feel offended by my comments because the mailing list is great and the responses are plenty but would it be good if we could spare those experts from answering the same questions again and again? Would it be better that newbies could use the forums to learn as much as possible before he would voice his questions? Would it be better if newbies could search the forums to find the answers quick while the experts are sound sleeping in other countries? I think a forum is just a win-win move for Vserver community as a whole.

[Vserver] very odd error with vservers init script
I tried to start the vservers for the first time using the init script and got a weird error I have never seen before. using the vserver guestname start/stop works perfectly the guests are configured with various mark files for some default to start and others with 'nostart' inside them so they wont start.. they also have the depends file in each and are ordered like this: ns1 starts first so it has no depends file. it is the only one that doesnt. ns2 contains ns1 in its depends the third, usage, contains ns1 ns2 in its depends and the 4th contains ns1 ns2 usage in its depends so that should start them in the order of ns1, ns2, usage, nagios the error i get from the init script is this: phoenix etc # /etc/init.d/vservers start * Unhiding /proc entries ... [ ok ] * Starting vservers of type 'default' ... * ns1 starting make: *** No rule to make target `..stamp', needed by `.ns2.stamp'. make: Target `all' not remade because of errors. and only ns1 started. any clues what I did wrong? until this gets fixed up, i have the start/stop orders in the local start/stop files in case of a reboot before i get it fixed. -- 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'.
