I am looking for a way to demo a client/server application, and Linux-VServer with the vunify functionality at first glance looks like it could be ideal. The CD itself would have the minimal OS and vserver-enabled kernel, and vunifiy-ed filesystems of the server and clients (which wouldn't differ by that much), and any changes during the run would be written to ramdisk. Based on a previous thread it sounded like Linux-VServer has its own Copy-on-Write (CoW) functionality, removing the need for unionfs/aufs for the virtual machines themselves (although I assume you'd still want it enabled in a small ram disk for the rest of the CD). yes and no, CoW Link Breaking is there, which is probably not what you have in mind when you talk about unionfs ... i.e. it allows you to have hard linked files on a read-write filesystem which will be copied (on demand) by the kernel when written to ... nevertheless, I can easily imagine having a tmpfs based demo setup with a bunch of Linux-VServer guests (they can be as small as 20MB, but usually will take 180-220MB) utilizing unification to run a number of them (10-30) completely from RAM ... so keep brain storming/asking/checking ... best, Herbert -- Daniel Clark # http://dclark.us # http://opensysadmin.com ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

[Vserver] anybody has experience for Vserver on ARM
Hi All, Anybody has experiences for Vserver on ARM? I have lots of problems for this. Firstly I compiled the kernel with Vserver, then compiled the util-vserver. However I haven't made the util-vserver run on my Arm phone. The first reason is my arm phone doesnot support Bash while vserver script is based on Bash. Then I installed the Arm Bash on my phone. The next problem is getopt. 'Getopt' is required for Vserver script, but I cannot find a good Getopt source and compile it on Arm. And I also noticed duing Vserver setup phase, the program need connect with outside to download some package. I still haven't find an easy way to connect the Arm phone with internet. I am still thinking.. Anybody can share some experiences for this? thanks! Wenbin ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Re: [Vserver] anybody has experience for Vserver on ARM
Hi Herbert and Martin,
Now I solved the getopt problem with recompiling the util-vserver package
for ARM, thanks!
Now The vserver script seems can run,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sbin# vserver
Usage: /sbin/vserver vserver
{start|stop|suexec|restart|condrestart|exec|enter|chkconfig|running|status|delete}
However, I tried to run
#vserver va780 build -m yum --context 43 --hostname=va780 --interface
va7800=eth0:192.168.1.2/24 --rootdir /vserver1 --pkgbase /vserver1/.pkg --
-d gpe
to create a vserver, it told me:
ERROR: Can not find configuration for the distribution 'a780';
please read http://linux-vserver.org/HowToRegisterNewDistributions
for information how to add support for your own distribution.
However, if I remove the -d option, it told me:
ERROR: Can not determine distribution; please specify it manually with
the '-d' option.
Any ideas? What distribution should be used for Arm? thanks!

you probably have to 'define' that distro first,
