 HI all,
 
 sry for double posting.
 
 In have a strange problem with apache2 : Each sunday morning between 5 
 a.m. and 7 a.m. some apache's in different vservers shutdown and do not 
 come back.
 
 [Sun Mar 18 06:26:43 2007] [warn] child process 30762 still did not 
 exit, sending a SIGTERM

I have the same on multiple Debian Sarge machines, running apache1.3 and
apache2.0, not running any vserver patches. I'd say vserver unrelated.

I bet each sunday morning between 5 and 7 your logrotation kicks in, and
apache doesn't reload cleanly -- Debian unsolved bug for years; quickfix is
a killall -9 apache2 then apache2ctl start in the logrotation script.

A bug was filed on apache on the BTS (not by me) but I can't find it back.

Re: [Vserver] vmware-player on host

2007-03-14 Thread Tom Laermans
 
   are you sure you have successfully  rebuilt your vmmon/vmnet modules?
 
 yep, I  re-emerge vmware-player after patch the kernel with Linux-VServer
 patch.
 
 running vmware-config.pl doesn't resolve the problem.

Are you sure everything works as planned there?

I'm successfully running vmware server on a vserver-patched host. I needed
the vmware any-to-any patch though, to get the vm* modules to compile
(vmware are doing a really bad job at keeping up with kernel development ;)

 Hi and happy new year !
 
 I'd like to monitor bandwidth through snmp from the master server.
 When I hit ifconfig in the master I only get it's interfaces not the

 Is it possible to see the vserver interfaces from the master ?

I am using IPFM to monitor traffic per IP address.

I haven't gotten around to writing a plugin for net-snmp to use that data to
be able to report through SNMP though.. been thinking about how to do it in
my (rare) spare time... :) just doing it is not that hard but I'd like to
integrate it into the rest of the interfaces. *hmm, idea about how*

I'll unfortunately be pretty busy for the next few weeks ...

Re: [Vserver] vmware in vserver?

2006-09-28 Thread Tom Laermans
 
 You might be spinning your wheels on that - many win-apps will detect
 vmware and refuse to run - even Windows virus applications will usually
 detect vmware and go into hiding.

Going way off-topic here, but I've never ever had any windows app refuse to
run because it was running inside a vmware instance.

Looks great! Once you have some .deb's I'll have to try it out ;)

I was planning to make something similar like this, but with a different
sort of backend, being an extension into snmpd. I've made different
scripts already to be able to monitor daemon stuff through cacti, and
was planning on making on one side some nice graphs about load and
memory and such, and otherwise an overview page with all the info on it.

Still planning to do that when time permits though ;/ -- the hard part
is looking up where to find all that info without having to parse
vserver-stat etc :)

 could be, we won't know without the oops :)

I figured, but at that moment I was on holidays - couldn't resist to set
something up on a virtual machine I was offered though ;)

I'm back now, here's the oops:
http://magic.powersource.cx/~tom/vserver-oops.png

I don't know if there was something above it, it happens quite fast - if
you can tell me how to get a larger console (80x50 or so) I could try
again...

It's an oops, not a panic, but as you can see Init starts but doesn't
do anything anymore after that. It's plain 2.6.17.7 patched with the
available 2.6.17.7 patch.

  Kernel config available on request, perhaps even the kernel log (if
  needed, but then I'll need to reboot into the new/old kernel) - more
  info from sid3windr @ #vserver as well...
 
 okay, will look into it then ...

Re: [Vserver] HOWTO deal with NAT'ing firewalls and source-based routing with vservers

2006-02-12 Thread Tom Laermans
  given address 
 
  Then the source address of the packets are translated as it
 should!
 
  So forget about MASQUERADE. But now I hear you cry: But
 then I have to
  change the SNAT rule every time eth0 changes address!. No I
 fixed that: 
 
   * Install ISC DHCP Client 3.x (on debian do: # apt-get
 install
  dhcp3-client).
   * Download the tarball,
 
 
 http://wheezy.homelinux.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dhclient-scripts.tar.gz?view=tar,
  and install it (instructions are in the scripts).
 
  Basically this packages provides a small perl script, which
 is called by 
  the DHCP client, and it is setting a SNAT rule according to
 the IP
  address that the DHCP client got. It also removes the rule,
 if the
  interface is shutdown, and it updates the rule, if the
 interface changes 
  address.
 
  If you don't want to use ISC DHCP Client 3.x but for
 instance ISC DHCP
  Client 2.x, then you have to find a way to have the dhcp
 client call
  snatman.pl with the correct parameters. 
 
 
 
  Configuring the source-based routing automatically on
 debian.
 
  Add the entry to /etc/network/interfaces:
  auto dummy0
  iface dummy0 inet static
  address 192.168.2.1
  netmask 255.255.255.255
 
  Make a script /etc/network/if-up.d/vserver containing:
  #!/bin/sh
 
  if [ $IFACE = dummy0 ]; then 
  if ! egrep --quiet \
 --word-regexp \
 vserver /etc/iproute2/rt_tables; then
  echo You haven't created a vserver table \
  in /etc/iproute2/rt_tables 
  echo Try adding a line like '100 vserver' \
  to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
  exit 1
  fi
  if [ ${MODE} = start ]; then
  ip rule add from 192.168.2.0/24 table vserver
  ip route add default dev eth0 table vserver
  ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 table vserver 
  fi
  fi
 
  and make /etc/network/if-up.d/vserver executable:
  # chmod 0755 /etc/network/if-up.d/vserver
 
  Also make the script /etc/network/if-down.d/vserver:
  #!/bin/sh 
 
  if [ $IFACE = dummy0 ]; then
  if ! egrep --quiet \
 --word-regexp \
 vserver /etc/iproute2/rt_tables; then
  echo You haven't created a vserver table \ 
  in /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
  echo Try adding a line like '100 vserver' \
  to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
  exit 1
  fi
  if [ ${MODE} = stop ]; then 
  ip route del default dev eth0  scope link table
 vserver
  ip route del 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1  scope link
 table vserver
  ip rule del from 192.168.2.0/24 lookup vserver
  fi
  fi
 
  and make it executable too:
  # chmod 0755 /etc/network/if-down.d/vserver
 
 
  Thats it. 
 
 thanks, good work!
 
 best,
 Herbert

If you don't escape, you're trying to rm sys cause I assume the

you are in / while doing it...

unrelated, probably you got the config wrong (with the

which doesn't exist (eth0:modele)
Or, just a guess, maybe the kernel is compiled without network aliasing 
support?

 I noticed that the version of LILO that is included in the version of

 having to have staff on-site selecting the kernel at boot time. If it
 panics, we tell them to just hit the reset button and it'll come back up
 on the old kernel.

 ~From memory the option is the '-R' command line switch. (And typical,
 now I go look for it, it's on that Fedora machine!)

Yep, -R. Very useful, particularly with the panic= kernel commandline
option... e.g. panic=30 waits 30 seconds then reboots automatically. If
you used lilo -R it will boot the old kernel again and should come back
up. No need to disturb anyone :)

[Vserver] Bugreport: Hang when starting vserver in the background

2004-11-02 Thread Tom Laermans
Hi,

A few days ago I started a vserver with vserver name start, as I
wanted to do other stuff while it was starting. However, it didn't come
up... I then typed fg to see if it would then come up while in
foreground, but it didn't... Terminal just sat there, ctrl-c also did
nothing.

As I was in a hurry I just rebooted the host machine (had to happen
anyway).

Sorry I dont have more information. :)
