Luke,

Debian with vserver is very easy. it does require a kernel patch and
build, but debians kernel-package makes that very easy. all stable
userspace utilities are available with packages too.

Herbert,
Which Linux Host OS would you reccomend for a new users,
as the easiest setup for a vserver configuration?
I am not trying to start a religious war, just help out new users.

well, as you said, it's a matter of preference ...

use debian as your vserver host, it's much easier to manager vservers on a
debian box.
I've used redhat/mandrake as vserver host, and very very much prefer using
debian.
I dont' remember the steps to get it to work with redhat/mandrake.
I remember a lot of steps.

You can always try with debian then switch back to mandrake when you see
how it all works...

[Vserver] New and having problems to "build" my 1st vserver...

2005-01-07 Thread Nicolas Costes 

Hello, all, and happy new year !

I recently discovered Linux-vservers, and I'm trying to build a vserver 
host.

The kernel compilation and installation went well, and it works fine 
(Mandrake, 2.6.9vs1.9.3). I'm encountering problems to build my first 
vserver

I definitely given up using the "Vservers" tools, and started using 
"utils-vserver". I tried all the building options ("copy" fails, "legacy" 
too - I installed the rpm -, apt-rpm...), but the only which seems to 
work is "debootstrap". The correct way was hard to guess, the only doc I 
found is a german pdf presentation... All the current doc on the main 
linux-vserver site refer the the old Vserver tools, or are incomplete :(
Well, I'm currently writing down all my experiments in order to make a 
Mandrake-Linux-vservers doc.

Well, I created a LVM/XFS partition, mounted it in /vservers/sample 
("Sample" is the name of the test vserver I'm trying to create), and 
called:

# vserver sample build -m debootstrap --interface.

This fails because /vserver/sample already exists (It's mounted), and 
using --force fails too because vserver-build cannot "mv" a mounted 
directory...

The solution would be to have a single partition for all vservers, but I 
want one for each. How can I do this ?

Second thing: This forces me to install a Debian vserver... Well, I was 
planning to try Debian, but not this soon ;-) !!! I'd like to keep up 
with mandrake vservers for the beginning. Is there a way to build one ?
Could I help the project by making a Mandrake profile like there is for 
Fc1/2, Rh9, Debian, Suse ??? Is it hard for a beginner ?

Thanks for your help.
