Re: [Vserver] Problems with Knoppix 5.2 (which should be Vserver-enabled...)
Hi Gerhard, I just tested the knoppix cd you mentioned. I could install a vserver without problems. Could it be that you started the knoppix-system with the normal knoppix-kernel instead of the vserver-enabled one? Gruß, Alexander Am Mittwoch, 21.

Sure, if you are willing to implement this feature I can do some tests, with the limitation that I only have a amd64 system at hand for testing.

[Vserver] a question regarding disk limits
Hello List! I'm trying to make the disk-limits work for my vservers to gain some flexibility and ran into a problem: the disk limits seem to be disfunctional. I wonder if anyone could help me with that .. I followed the instructions provided on http://oldwiki.linux-vserver.org/Disk+Limits: - created a directory /etc/vservers/test1/dlimit/0 - in there I created the files space_total with 716800, inode_total with 10, reserved with 5 and directory with /var/lib/vservers/test - I was tagging the files in /var/lib/vservers: chxid -r --xid /var/lib/vservers/test When I reduced the space_total to an amount smaller than the actual vserver content "vserver test start" refused to come up, complaining that there is not enough space. After adjusting the space, the vserver could be started. Doing a "df -kh" inside the vserver gave: FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdv1 700M 579M 87M 88% / Until here everything looks fine. The error showed, when inside this vserver I succeed doing a: dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1M count=1024 This produced a 1 GB big file inside the vserver that claimed to have only 87 MB left. Are the disk limits functional? If yes, how are they to be set up? Any advice is appreciated. The vserver-version is a vanilla kernel 2.6.19.2 with vs 2.2.0-rc7. Util-Vserver is 0.30.211 (debian compiled). The vservers' partition is a XFS-filesystem mounted with the "tagxid"-option.

Hello List, just one question aside: is anybody able to figure out, what vserver-versions the debian-kernel-packagers are using? Alexander Am Dienstag, 28. November 2006 16:23 schrieb Michael S.
