questions: how could i create a vserver by using "link" instead of "copy" so that i could share the disk space? cheers, charles Charles, forgive me if I misunderstood your question, I am by no means an expert at setting up vservers. However, regarding this issue, if you do cp -al file1 file2 (that's lower case A L ) it simply makes a hardlink from file1 to the other.

Re: [Vserver] 1.0 release - I agree!
hi jack and chunk, thanks for your info, the procedures are really great! i followed and merged both procedures to create my vserver and it works!! i'm using redhat7.3 inside redhat 7.3 (and will migrate to redhat 9 later), i did some additional steps (for somebody new to vserver like me): inside the vserver (after "vserver new enter"): - remove the /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt - remove the files/directories inside /proc - remove the files/directories inside /dev except (full, null, pts, zero, ptmx, random, urandom) <-- pls tell me which file i could further remove or should be retained - modify the /etc/fstab to "/dev/hdv1 / ext2 defaults 1 1" - modify the /etc/mtab to "/dev/hdv1 / ext2 rw 0 0" - remove the /boot - remove unnecessary packages (like grub, apmd, etc) questions: how could i create a vserver by using "link" instead of "copy" so that i could share the disk space? cheers, charles - Original Message - From: "Jacques Gelinas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Vserver mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 1:58 AM Subject: Re: [Vserver] 1.0 release - I agree! > On Fri, 31 Oct 2003 12:48:00 -0500, Charles wrote > > hi chuck, > > > > can you tell me how to make it work? > > do i need to modify the setting of the rh6.2 after "rsync"? > > > > i've got a rh7.3/rh9 host server, and like to run a rh7.3/rh9 vserver > > inside. > > > > thanks a lot! > > After copying, create a new configuration file in /etc/vservers > > Then enter the vserver > > vserver new enter > > Then turn off all services > > cd /etc/rc.d/init.d > for serv in * > do > /sbin/chkconfig $serv off > done > > Then turn only the services you need.

RE: [Vserver] 1.0 release - I agree!
discussed above. So all in all there aren't many general settings to be changed after you rsync the server into a vserver. I found the resolver issues and the named permissions problem took the most time to fix. Give it a go - there's not much to lose!

Exelent. There a many servers on old hardware tha vould like to go virtual. Pleases put info in the Documentation section of http://www.linux-vserver.org It does not have to be perfect.
