[Vserver] hostname
Hi all How can I change the hostname of a vsever ? I'v change the file /etc/vserver/name_of_vserver/name but when I start the vserver he already have the old-name (event after stop/start).

[Vserver] Using the latest Vserver patch with a 2.6.12 kernel?
HI, I would like to use the latest vserver release (http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Experimental/patch-2.6.16-vs2.1.1-rc15.diff) with a 2.6.12 vanilla kernel. However, the latest vserver patch fails to apply to the 2.6.12 kernel. Does anyone have any advice on getting the latest vserver experimental release to work on a 2.6.12 kernel? My motivation for doing this is that I want to use DRBD (http://www.drbd.org) and the Lustre cluster filesystem (http://www.clusterfs.com) with Vserver. However, the latest Lustre filesystem release supports only the 2.6.12 kernel. I've tried porting the Lustre kernel patch to the 2.6.16 kernel, but I'm running into memory leak issues. Therefore, I want to investigate backporting the latest vserver release. Thanks in advance ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Can anyone point me in the right direction? hmm, well, probably you want to keep sensor stuff on the host, or inside a very trusted guest, with the necessary capabilities and devices (no idea what those would be exactly), because snesors often use stuff like i2c or smbus which can easily kill a kernel and/or add big latencies ... if you want to figure the 'requirements' starting with an unlimited guest and removing capabilities/devices would be a good approach ...
