Re: [Vserver] vServer on Suse 9.2
I had some problems with SuSE vserver. First of all, you will have to enable 'fakeinit' (I don't what the equivalent is in the alpha-tools). Without this, no processes are started on my (SuSE 8.2, 9.0, 9.1) Vservers. Then SuSE introduced some new bells and whistles to fail on you in 9.1. Look in /etc/sysconfig/boot and set RUN_PARALLEL to no Hope this helps. Regards, Mike Fischer -- Fraunhofer Gesellschaft e.V.

Look in /etc/sysconfig/boot and set RUN_PARALLEL to no I followed a hint on the list and took the rc Skript from a redhat disrto - now I can at least fire up the server but some of the services still fail. But this will be easy to fix - hoepfully. Look into /etc/init.d/rc3.d: Do the failing processes have Links with multiply assigned numbers? If yes, apply my second fix. The script trying to run them in parallel fails in a vserver. Don't ask me why. regards, Mike Fischer -- Fraunhofer Gesellschaft e.V.

I cant get a clue if and how I can use the fakeinit system with the new tools - perhaps that might be the problem but I cant fnd any doc about :( Hmmm, something to do with 'initstyle' I'm guessing here, as I have avoided the alpha tools up to now.

[Vserver] Replication
Hello List, this may be a little off-topic, but I value your opinions. I'm running our company mailserver and webserver on a single host machine using vservers. There have been problems in the past so I am now faced with the tast of keeping the vital services redundant across two machines to have a switchover in case of failure. In numbers, this means I will have to synchronize 90 Gigs of Maildata and another 16 Gigs of vserver data (using SuSE, vunify was not an option) over a direct 1GB link between the two machines. I already copied the maildata, and it took just a few hours. Anyone have some pointers what I should look at that can make keeping all this data synchronous easy? I am now looking into rsync, but I had problems in the past with it not being able to handle really large amounts of data. Might be the new version has got this issue fixed. So thank you for your time reading this. I hope there will be some good suggestions. Kind regards, Mike Fischer -- Fraunhofer Gesellschaft e.V.

But neither the manpage The slides are mainly about the next-generation tools (see http://www.linux-vserver.org/index.php?page=alpha+util-vserver). The man-pages are outdated and are not an authoritive information source at the moment. nor the script's help has anything to say about these. '--help' of the vserver 0.29.214 script should tell a lot... Where do I start looking or where Do I start writing documentation? The important reference-documentation about the configuration scheme is available in an abstract XML format (see doc/configuration.xml). Stylesheets for more human readable formats are welcome (afaik, Olivier Poitrey is already working on a DocBook stylesheet but I do not know the state). Else, as said, the man-pages are out-of-date and do not reflect the current state. But I am not sure if I want to stay at manually written man-pages, or if they should be written in DocBook. Oh! I get the DAU-of-the-day award for assuming that utils version 0.29.4, as stated on Herbert's page, is the newest version. Sorry, for troubling you. How about slapping the docs from the sourcetree into the wiki? Kind regards, Mike Fischer -- Fraunhofer Gesellschaft e.V.

[Vserver] Documentation
Hi! I've already got some vservers up and running nicely. (Kernel 2.4.22, vserver 1.00, utils 0.25) But now I need more. Much has changed since I last set up a vserver. But the documentation obviously hasn't. Or am I just too dumb to find it? I found Enrico's speech-slides which tell me that the vserver script has lots of nice switches. But neither the manpage nor the script's help has anything to say about these. Where do I start looking or where Do I start writing documentation?

Re: [Vserver] Vserver install (using SuSE)
Andreas Scholz wrote: Hi, i've tried vserver (ctx 0.16) some time ago[1], and now i'am going to set up our new main-server. For my first try i used Debain 3.0, both for Host and vservers, but according to company-policy i have to use SuSE[2]. My web search was quite poor, i don't need a how-to for setup the host (i hope), but for installing SuSE [3] as vserver. It would be very nice if someone who runs SuSE inside a vserver would point me to a install how-to. Please tell me whether you are using SuSE Linux for both host and vserver, and share your experiences please !! Thanks for your time + hints - Andreas [1] worked fine [2] No, there is no way around! [3] Version 9 or will be used ___ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver I use SuSE 8.2 as host and vserver. I've even got a one of their OpenExchange Servers running inside a vserver. Gotta use vanilla. It's pretty straightforward like a normal install Forget about patching SuSE's kernelsources with the vserver patch, though. Only thing I encountered was that you have to use fakeinit in the S_FLAGS, otherwise no processes will be run. Everything runs dandy, but I think I didn't install all functionality, e.g. no one can reboot from inside a vserver. Hope this helps, Mike Fischer -- Fraunhofer Gesellschaft e.V.
