I definitely will. I will just wait till I have some more to add than just 
initial testing.

I am thinking maybe the simplest way since this is just a test is to tar the 
entire host up and install it into a vserver then make proper config/init 
mods by overlaying a new baselayout and lots of editing. there is so much to 
compile and configure otherwise.. a fresh install would be different but I 
don;'t want to take 3 or 4 days of compiling and instlaling to see if it even 
works.. if it does, then I can uninstall from the host and the next 
incarnation of this machine will be fresh proper installs.

no problem at all. this is one incredible package that deserves all the praise 
it can get. (still trying to get my brain around most of the concepts 
however.. once i do that im sure i can create better more efficient servers)

glad that you like it ... you might consider adding
yourself to the Happy Users page (if not already done
so) at http://linux-vserver.org/VServer+Users

if you need help with that, just pay a visit to the
irc channel #vserver @ irc.oftc.net ...

thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it!

[Vserver] incredible

2005-09-14 Thread Chuck
I set up 4 vservers on my secondary workstation which is the machine I am 
using to experiment with. Absolutely incredible! The performance is 
staggering. How did you do it?  I hit these with all kinds of intense 
scripting to emulate high usage on ftp file xfers, a setiathome computational 
machine with nice turned off,  a ton of randomly selected web hits and a 
video being served streaming, and a  mysql 'thumb through' a large test 
database displaying each record for 2 seconds all the while i used the remote 
gui workstation from my other machine.

with all this going on I could hardly notice any performance degradation at 
all on a single processor 933mhz machine !!

I am MORE than impressed!!

I don't think I will ever build another machine, even for my personal use that 
is not 'vserver' ready. It just doesn't make sense not to. If I never use it, 
it is a normal machine. If I want to use it, a few configs and it is up and 
running.

my next step is to move the remote kde workstation code into a vserver and get 
it off the host and see how that works :D


once I figure that out then my next step is to figure out how to clone the 
template vserver without physically copying everything into a new 
directory. :)
