 Wilhelm,

 Would you be willing to put some instructions together on what it takes
 to do this?

Ok., get the patch from the list and apply it 
to /usr/src/linux-vserver/fs/cifs/connect.c (or whatever you kernel source 
path is).

Recompile the kernel and/or modules (if cifs is a module). be sure to load the 
newly compiled module ;-)

Boot the host into the new kernel or just un/load the cifs module.

Set the ccaps of a guest to binary_mount and secure_mount.

Restart the guest.

Enter the guest and do a

mount.cifs '\\windowsserver\share' /mnt/test -o 
user=windowsusername,pass=password

inside the guest.

That's all. 
Now you can use cifs-mounts inside a guest (like nfs-mounts).

I posted it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve French told me that it

The patch works if I try to mount on the host.

Any suggestions?

[Vserver] CIFS-mounts in vserver guests

2007-03-29 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hi all,

I would like to reactivate an old topic, that is mounting cifs-shares inside a 
vserver guest. I tried this some time ago with no luck:

http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/archives/200610/0032.html

Was there any activity on this topic in the mean time?

If there is interest in this, I would like to offer some time to do the  
testing ;-)

 in general, the answers to the following questions

  - logs on both, client and filer with the

[Vserver] How do I nfs-mount inside a vserver?

2006-09-13 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hi,

I googled for a while but I didn't find a solution for nfs-mounting inside the 
guest from a remote nfs-server.

I had to export the dirs on the nfs-server to the guest AND to the host 
(why?). After that the host answers to the mount request.

I gave the guest ccap secure_mount AND binary_mount. But a 

mount 192.168.39.1:/home /home -o nolock,tcp

gives a permission denied.
If I add CAP_SYS_ADMIN to bcap, it works fine. But that's not what I want.

If I setup fstab.remote, it works (well, I don't know why!). What is the 
difference?

I'm using 2.6.17-vs2.1.1-rc26-gentoo.

Any ideas?

  I gave the guest ccap secure_mount AND binary_mount. But a
 
  mount 192.168.39.1:/home /home -o nolock,tcp
 
  gives a permission denied.

 should be sufficient with recent kernels to do an nfs mount
 if the portmapper is reachable and working as expected

  If I add CAP_SYS_ADMIN to bcap, it works fine. But that's not what I
  want.

 that's at least interesting, but could be an already fixed
 bug in older kernels

  If I setup fstab.remote, it works (well, I don't know why!). What is
  the difference?

 main difference is that the fstab.remote is executed on the
 host but within the network context, which solves certain
 issues you see, like requiring host and guest ip to be allowed

  I'm using 2.6.17-vs2.1.1-rc26-gentoo.
 
  Any ideas?

 well, let's do an strace of the actual mount, to see where
 it fails, and check with rpcinfo and showmounts

[Vserver] NFS-mounting in guest only with CAP_SYS_ADMIN ? binary_mount not working?

2006-09-11 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hi,

I googled for a while but I didn't find a solution for nfs-mounting inside the 
guest from a remote nfs-server.

I had to export the dirs on the nfs-server to the guest AND to the host 
(why?). After that the host answers to the mount request.

I gave the guest ccap secure_mount AND binary_mount. But a 

mount 192.168.39.1:/home /home -o nolock,tcp

gives a permission denied.
If I add CAP_SYS_ADMIN to bcap, it works fine. But that's not what I want.

If I setup fstab.remote, it works (well, I don't know why!).

I'm using 2.6.17-vs2.1.1-rc26-gentoo.

Any ideas?

 yes, thats the idea, but it isn't implemented (yet)

well, that sounds promising! It would be a _very_ nice to have. 


  Are the contexts nested (assume no)?

 nope, but the structures for doing so are already there

  How can I enter the new context from the creating non-root context?

 basically the same way you do on the host now, given
 that the context has the required capabilities and
 flags

[Vserver] Using SECURE_MOUNT

2006-09-05 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hi,

I wonder how to use SECURE_MOUNT.

I want to give a vserver secure access to a device so that mounting the device 
does not introduce any new device nodes.

What do I have to include in /etc/vservers/vsxx/bcapabilities? CAP_SYS_ADMIN?
Does this always imply the nodev-option for all mounts inside the vserver?

Yes, the above settings of (fillrate/intervall) should achieve this. 


 in this case you simply forget the maximum values

 1/100 and use a set of 2:1:1 for the idle time values
 e.g. 1/3,1/6 and 1/6. once hard cpu and indle time

 consume cpu resources, in which case the remaining
 cpu resources will be divided 2:1:1 between them

But what happens if the third vserver falls to idle? In the solaris case the 
remaining two vservers would get 2/3 and 1/3 of the cpus (if the host ifself

In the vserver case we get idle time now: 1/4 with the values above. Then this 
idle time is shared amon the three vservers according to the 
(fillrate/intervall)_2 for idle time? Well, I don't think this is the same as 
in the solaris case. (I mention the solaris case here because in some use 
cases this makes sense, not because I think it is superior. I want to get my 
understanding of vserver-scheduling right.)

Where can one enable the idle time token bucket? The user-level tools don't 
seem to have support for this.

 same here as there a 2/6 added for each idle time tick to
 the first guest and 1/6 for the second one, which still
 is 2:1 as in your 2/3 and 1/3 example ...

  In the vserver case we get idle time now: 1/4 with the values above.

 how do you come to this conclusion?

I try to summarize: we have three vservers with 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 as values for 
(fillrate/intervall)_1 (not idle time).

If all three vservers have runnable processes, they get 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 of a cpu 
(if we have more than one cpu we scale the values to sum up to the number of 
cpus).

If the third vserver now gets idle, the first and second vserver still gets 
1/2 and 1/4 of a cpu (if they have tokensmax in the bucket, they can get more 
of a cpu for a limited burst-time). In the long run there is 1/4 of a cpu 
idle.

If we have setup the idle time bucket and the three vservers have the 
(fillrate/intervall)_2 values 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 for this also, the remaining 1/4 
of the cpu (which is left idle from the normal tocken bucket) is given to the 
vservers. 

If the third vserver is still idle, the first vserver gets 1/4 * 1/2 from the 
idle token bucket and this sums to 1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8. The second vserver sums 
up to 1/4 + 1/4*1/4 = 5/16. 

So the ratio between the first and second vserver is still 2:1. But we left 
1/16 of a cpu idle. And this leds to a recursion and then the two active 
vservers gets 2/3 and 1/3 of a cpu. Yes, I think I got it ;-) 
Thank you!

Is this type of scheduler already in the stable version?


...

 as usual, all the features are supported by my 'hack' tools
 in various forms, this one is probably best to control with
 the vsched (0.02) or the vcmd tool (which is non trivial to
 use, I guess), but it would definitely be better to get this
 functionality into mainline userspace tools ...

[Vserver] Scheduling parameter and vschedcalc

2006-07-23 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hello,

the util-vserver comes with a tool called vschedcalc to calculate the values 
for the token-bucket-algorithm.

These lines are from vschedcalc:

# calculate token bucket
let interval=100*${fillrate}/${avgcpu}
let tokensmin=${hz}*${bursthold}*${fillrate}/${interval}
let tokensmax=${hz}*${maxburst}-${maxburst}*${interval}

I don't know If I understand the description right, but I think the line to 
compute tokensmax is wrong.

The maxburst-time is the time the vserver can consume tokens from the initial 
filling, which is tokensmax/hz plus the additional time, which the vserver 
gets because of the the refilling-rate lasting for the maxburst-time, which 
is (fillrate/intervall)*maxburst.
 
With this statement we get:

tokensmax=maxburst*hz - maxburst * (fillrate/intervall)*hz

So, please help me if I misinterpreted the things here.

[Vserver] Shares and Reservations in the token-bucket-algorithm

2006-07-23 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hello,

I have a question to the token-bucket-filter on top of the linux-scheduler 
according to the dokumentation (and i must state that I didn't check the 
source until now ...).

The (fillrate/intervall) gives the shares of the number of cpus one vserver 
can get at maximum. But what happens if only one vserver has runnable 
processes? Then it gets only (fillrate/intervall) of all cpus (not taking 
tokensmax and tokensmin into account). Shouldn't this be called a reservation 
instead of a share? A share should be the amount of cpus a vserver gets if 
all vservers have runnable processes. If one vserver has no runnable 
processes, then the cpus should be given proportianal to the active vservers 
(at least this is what Solaris-10 does).

In the paper

http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~mef/research/vserver/paper.pdf

I found the terms shares and reservations but I can't find the point to 
setup both types of parameters.

I would be glad if someone could explain this to me.

You can try these patches:

 Does vhashify/vunify really make sense on Gentoo? AFAIK, Gentoo does not

 will probably produce different checksums).

Yes, but Gentoo has package-management - the portage system. 


 When you do a 'make install' from the same source tree, vhashify/vunify
 will still not work because most 'make install' do not preserve timestamps.
 But because timestamps are used to check whether files are identically
 resp. are going into the calculation of the hash value, you will not gain
 very much with vhashify/vunify on Gentoo.

You have to use binary packages, then you will gain the same amount as with 
other distributions. And you have to compile the things only once. This is 
o.k. since the compiler-flags won't change from Vserver to VServer. The only 
issue might be with the portage-use-flags.

[Vserver] /proc/1 and PID of init (Debian and Gentoo guest)

2006-01-17 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hi,

the init-process of a VServer (Gentoo-VPS is started via init) naturally gets 
a PID  1 in the host-context, but this PID ist remapped to 1 in the 
VPS-context. Is this a simple mapping done by the vserver-patches? I could 
not spot this in the patch-set ... I think this is part of the virtualization 
of the procfs similar to /proc/uptime. Can someone give me a hint? 

Additionally, what happened in the case of a Debian-VPS, which is started 
via /etc/init.d/rc 3 ? I can't read all the entries in /proc/1:

vs03:~# ls -l /proc/1
ls: cannot read symbolic link /proc/1/cwd: Permission denied
ls: cannot read symbolic link /proc/1/root: Permission denied
ls: cannot read symbolic link /proc/1/exe: Permission denied

and I can't find the init-process of the Debian-VPS in the spectator-context 
or by the vps-tool. So, this entry in /proc is completely faked, I think.

In the old-style util-vserver-docu I found a flag fakeinit. Does this exist 
in the alpha-util-vserver also? 

Well, I think this question is a typical newbie question, but I can't find the 
information.

 this is mainliny 'broken' by the BME patches, which
 are basically a 'fix' to mainline kernels ...

Does that mean, that the BME patches will be integrated in the mainline in
the near future?


 have a look at this patch and try to 'adapt' your
 vfs module to pass the correct informations ...

[Vserver] Getting the namespace of processes

2006-01-09 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hi,

I want to extract the namespace-attribute of a specific/all process(es). Some 
time ago there was a discussion about this topic, but I think the essence was 
that there are no tools to get this information. Or am I wrong?

Is it possible to extract this information via /proc/...? I didn't find any 
hints about that.

[Vserver] How to vunify/vhashify on Gentoo

2006-01-06 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hi,

I'm using Gentoo as a host and also Gentoo as VPSs. If I try to 
vunify/vhashify two VPS, I get:

gs vservers # ln 
-s /etc/vservers/vs01 /etc/vservers/vs01c/apps/vunify/refserver.00

gs vservers # vserver vs01c unify
Can not determine packagemanagement style
failed to determine configfiles
gs vservers #

So, how can I fix this?

[Vserver] How to setup FSS?

2006-01-05 Thread Wilhelm Meier
Hello,

how do I setup fair share scheduling? I've read 
http://linux-vserver.org/Scheduler+Parameters
and I understand, that if all contexts have running processes, the 
fillrate/fillinterval gives the share of cpu capacity the context gets 
(roughly, if you neglect the effect of the other parameters). But what 
happens, if only one context has running processes. Is this context then able 
to use the rest of cpu capacity, or is it waiting ?
