RE: [Vserver] hrm... another odd thing.. /dev/initctl?
I'm no programmer, but I do believe, it would be pretty nice if the "owner" of a context (fake "root" user) could halt/reboot *their* vserver via /sbin/init, /sbin/reboot or /sbin/halt. It'd be nice to have a way to pass messages *securely* back to something on the outside that would do a context id check (ie where's it coming from and what's it trying to apply those changes to) and then if everything checks out, does the vserver start/stop/restart. I personally can't figure out what to do about this *other* than figure out what the hell keeps calling it and removing it from the "halt" script (the same one that kills errant processes on vserver stop).

RE: [Vserver] vserver & gentoo, anyone?
I've been working with the Gentoo development team to get as many kinks ironed out as possible. I've gotten a "stage1" modification done for virtualization of my own machine with the only "major" change being me adding /sbin/depscan.sh to the 4th line of /sbin/rc ... the rest of the changes are basically faking things like mount/umount and working with making a decent syslogd (syslog-ng) work correctly (metalog will be my next task). I've been talking with avenj and will be talking to seemant the next time I see him (he got married today), in regards to creating a new Gentoo profile for vservers. I've spent MOST of this evening working on getting a reliable version-independent ebuild for util-vserver going and will be working on that the rest of this week. Hopefully by Monday next week I'll have had avenj/seemant at the very least ok the ebuild for the portage tree. At that point, I'll be proposing the creation of a sys-vserver/ category to carpaski (portage maintainer), to house util-vserver, jack's vserver, and vserver-base (a modified Gentoo baselayout). Once the userland stuff is taken care of, I'll be creating an ebuild (if nobody else has) of sys-kernel/vserver-sources including masking of all versions of the vserver patchsets including experimental >= vs1.00. In that respect, when I have decent Gentoo vserver support taken care of, I'll be working on setting up stage1, stage2 and stage3 vserver images as well as some helper scripts and patches that allow a system to have one /usr/portage (except distfiles, which would be on a per-machine basis), and disabling emerge sync inside a vserver. When I've got the backend portion of things done, I'll be working on documenting what I've done. Ian, he probably started stage1, If I were you, I'd take advantage of GRP and stage3 installs. You'll only be building a kernel initially and it really streamlines the install process. If you have any questions for me, PLEASE, don't hesitate to ask, I'd be more than happy to help you in whatever way I can. OFF TOPIC: I had a nice long conversation with lilo tonight (if you know about freenode/openprojects, you'll know the name), and I'd really like to see a #vserver there instead of oftc. Freenode/openprojects has a much better userbase (see: http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/ oftc.net isn't even in the top 20), with #gentoo as the top channel (*grin*) I know *our* userbase isn't that huge, but I really think that freenode is the best network for a project that cooperates as we do. Politics is something I really don't like to get stuck in the middle of, and it seems from reading the sites of both oftc and freenode that freenode is DEFINITELY attempting to distance itself of any of that nonsense. I figure that if oftc were serious about running a network instead of having a virtual government, perhaps they'd be a better network. At this point, I'm personally boycotting oftc as a network. If you'd like to speak to me about *my* contributions to the linux-vserver project or the Gentoo linux distribution, feel free to join irc.freenode.net and /msg infowolfe, if I'm around, I'll definitely answer you as soon as is humanly possible. Citing: 1) http://www.freenode.net/philosophy.shtml 2) http://www.oftc.net/constitution/index.html I only ask that before you flame/attack me personally, that you investigate your own truths and decide for yourself what you'd rather believe. The man I spoke with tonight (lilo - Rob Levin), is a man of bruised, if not broken spirit. Freenode and lilo for that matter, really don't have anything wrong with them, he's a cheerful, upbeat guy overall, and stresses that his #1 priority is treating his users and channels with respect. I also had a conversation with dmwaters (Deedra), his senior staffer tonight, and they're really not what they've been made out to be. They're just trying to provide something above and beyond to the open source community, and if linux-vserver, it's users or project developers are more interested in politics than getting the job done (which I haven't seen, and is one of the reasons I'm so invested in this project), perhaps I should make a choice of my own and discontinue doing what I can do for a project I believe in. That's my $.02, I don't mean any disrespect to anyone, just airing my opinion in a public forum. Cheers, and keep up the good work!

I've got a few reasons why *I* am not willing to support oftc. First off, I feel that personal attacks against the owner of a network are pretty petty, if not immature. I feel that politics really should have no business in a meeting place that is supposed to welcome developers and users alike with open arms. (see constitution, that's a virtual gov't, not an irc network!) The network's owner, lilo aka Robert Levin, has been personally attacked from so many places that I think it's amazing that he's still running a network at all, let alone one that hosts a project as busy as #gentoo. For that, I give him credit. I've had one on one conversations with lilo about all kinds of things, and most of the bad press he's had in the past has been exactly that, in the past. In the amount of time I've spent on freenode, they've been mostly stable, and doing a wonderful job for their budget (absolutely nothing). If anyone would like to see some of the conversations between myself and lilo, feel free to ask me off-list and I'll gladly send them to you. Personally, in my conversations with lilo, I've found one thing out: despite extreme personal financial hardship, he's managed to keep one of the busier irc networks up. I think that lilo expresses why I'm not interested in supporting oftc in any way shape or form best: [14:35] I guess I'm not enthusiastic about politics because it always seems to me to be about either trying to divert resources from someone else's project to your own, or trying to prevent someone from doing that. The basic gist of why I chose to stop supporting oftc is this: I'd rather not support *in any way* a network/project/person that is willing to slander another to get ahead. Google for "lilo openprojects" click a few pages... you'll see lots and lots of stuff from a long time ago, and shouldn't see anything recently. In regards to lilo wallop'ing asking for donations, that hasn't happened since august of 2002. ___ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

RE: [Vserver] first stage of Gentoo ebuilds completed
If you're interested in getting a "gentoo-sources" kernel, I'd be happy to pass the patches along to you or even better, give you access to a Gentoo box with which you can play as long as you don't install the kernels and reboot the machine :-p. I was thinking of creating vserver-sources as a vanilla kernel with all of the >= vs1.00 versions having their own ebuilds. Kernels you list as "stable" would be in their KEYWORDS="x86" tree (stable) and kernels you list as development releases would be in their KEYWORDS="~x86" (unstable) tree. I would basically have the box download (if it didn't already have it) whatever kernel-version is "stable" at the moment and allow the user to pick whatever else they wanted if they forced the build themselves via emerge /usr/portage/sys-kernel/vserver-sources/vserver-source-2.4.22-vs1.00.ebuild as an example. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:vserver- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Herbert Poetzl > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 7:50 AM > To: Allen D.

I've been looking for 2.6 vserver support because 2.6 does some very nice things with my router's cpu (via c3 nemiah core hw random number generator support). > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:vserver- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Herbert Poetzl > Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 8:33 AM > To: Luís Miguel Silva > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Vserver] Kernel 2.6.0.. > > On Tue, Dec 30, 2003 at 11:58:06AM -, Luís Miguel Silva wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > Im sorry if this as already been discussed on this mailing list but, is > > there going to be any vserver support for the 2.6.x kernel series? > > yup, is there going to be any vserver 2.6 testing? ;) > > TIA, > Herbert > > > > > Best regards and happy new year! > > +--- > > | Luís Miguel Silva > > | Network Administrator@ ISPGaya.pt > > | Rua António Rodrigues da Rocha, 291/341 > > | Sto.

RE: [Vserver] At the Eve of this Year ...
Hear Hear! Well said Bert! If at all possible, I'd love to see some of the features of the "business" vps solutions built on the Linux-VServer project re-integrated into the main tree. If there's anything I personally can do to help, I'd be happy to test just about anything for you as well as help you bughunt. I only have 2 more words for you: Good Job!

James, please contact me off-list in regards to gentoo gotchas. I don't have the time to get it all down in an email, but I could blow through most of it verbally. OR... if you can wait a week, I can provide you a "basic" gentoo install with postfix, apache, mysql, mod_php, syslog-ng and all the normal stuff in the 2004.0 release. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:vserver- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Noble > Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 9:48 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Vserver] At the Eve of this Year ... > > Id like to be the first to Congratulate Herbert for doing such a great > job, Lets all toast Herbert this New Years! > > Have a happy new year, and see you all in 2004. > > James Noble > > *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** > > On 12/31/2003 at 3:27 PM Herbert Poetzl wrote: > > >Second, I would like to integrate commercially interested > >groups of the vserver community (the business people ;) > >more deeply into the development process, and as a start, > >I would like to form a platform, where hosting providers > >can deposit, discuss and share their requirements, issues > >and solutions regarding Linux-VServer in an appropriate > >way they consider useful. > > > > > ___ > Vserver mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver ___ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

RE: [Vserver] Commercial virtual server sofware
Paul, you might want to talk to James Noble, I'm not sure about the NDAs required by them to run Virtuozzo or Ensim, but I *know* they've got both and they're looking to migrate to linux-vserver (ensim from what I hear is a cpu-hog.. and I know firsthand that virtuozzo is about a year behind in kernel stuff and afaik, they're adding redhat 8 support just this year.) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:vserver- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Sladen > Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 9:50 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Vserver] Commercial virtual server sofware > > On Thu, 8 Jan 2004, Gregory (Grisha) Trubetskoy wrote: > > Hello Greg, > > [First, let me carefully state that I have not used either of the > proprietary products you mention.] > > If anyone has a legal way for me to have a look at them, without the need > for me to sign an NDA, I'd be happy to do a more recent write-up comparing > the various technologies and approaches, I started but didn't finish this: > (Dated October 2002...) > > http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/howto.html > > > I've seen quite a few mentions of Virtuozzo and Ensim VPS solutions. > > Virtuozzo (based on the two-year-old kernel source code I've seen) is > *very* > like `vserver'.

RE: [Vserver] future 2.6 development ...
> I would like to get your opinion on that, especially > regarding the following questions: > > 1) should the 2.4 branch be frozen, and if when? Linus/Marcello have already frozen 2.4... I know the only thing keeping me from migrating my personal system at work to 2.6 is the immaturity of linux-vserver. So... my vote is when 2.6.4 is released, 2.4 development should be frozen except for bugfixes. 2.6 is a VERY nice kernel, builds faster, has better memory management... at least on my 1GB machines.. and overall has better support for a wider range of hardware... (the 3ware and megaraid controllers both benefit from a pretty decent code cleanup) > 2) is it bad if 2.4 and 2.6 branches diverge? No. > 3) is multitude (2.4/2.6/2.6SE) preferred over > development speed? Definitely not. I'd love to see a stable 2.6 patchset released ASAP with new capabilities being added to 2.6 with a possible 2.6-mm patchset also. (x86-64 support is a BIG issue for me personally as I have a couple opterons that I'd like to put vserver on... that are already running Gentoo.) > 4) is a 2.4/2.6 migration path important to you? It'd be nice to not have to redo the configs and to be able to drop in a new version of Enrico's tools over the current versions and not have issues. > 5) what branch 2.4, 2.6 or 2.6SE would you prefer? 2.6 or 2.6SE > 6) what branch/version do you currently use/test? 2.4.24-ck1-vs1.3.4 (personal box at work), 2.4.24-vs1.2.4 (production box for client), 2.6.2 (router), 2.6.2 (mp3/audio encoder), 2.6.2-mm/2.4.24-(current experimental vs) planned for dual athlon mp (new box, got it tonight) if 2.4.24 will support my S/ATA 4 port megaraid controller > > TIA, > Herbert Herbert, let me thank you for your time and effort on this project, beggars can't be choosers, but if I have a choice, those are the votes I will cast. I feel that it's important to look into getting support for 2.6 for the reasons stated above. I'd really rather not be running 2.4 kernels for too much longer on my production machines.
