Re: [Vserver] kill: (1) - No such process
Hi. 1. vserver not running: no defunct processes. 2. start vserver: still no defunct processes. 3. stop vserver: every application closed becomes defunct. 4. impossible to start the vserver again: vcontext: vc_create_context(): File exists. And init is hung (have to reset the computer). Ideas? well, next step is to trace the entire vserver startup with --debug and strace -fF to figure ... a) what is started and/or executed b) what might reach the init on the host it might also pose useful to turn on the linux-vserver debugging (especially the syscall command switch) What I did: - Recompile the kernel, enabling vserver debugging. [I didn't touch anything else in the config.] - Run strace as you suggested above (but note that I didn't find a --syscall switch in the vserver script). [I had attached a file with the output but it was refused by Mailman because it is 87 kB in size. So I now sent it to you (Herbert).] *But* I couldn't reproduce the previous behaviour. Now the vserver script seems to hang before the actual server is started (/proc/virtual/ contains no reference to new context 99), in function clone (cf. last line of strace output). Does this give you some hints as to what is going on? Best, Gilles ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
Re: [Vserver] kill: (1) - No such process
Hi Herbert.
Still struggling with a ghost init and a horde of zombies...
I forgot to tell (on IRC) that I couldn't reboot: init doesn't
answer anymore! So I had to push the button :-{ [No alternative,
I assume?]
The behaviour is still the same unfortunately. I've let the
computer do some work for a while (mutt, evolution, emacs, mozilla)
No defunct processes.
I've started (and stopped) the vserver *once*, now I can't start it
anymore, the error is as before:
-
vcontext: vc_create_context(): File exists
An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence; when
there are no other messages, it is very likely that the init-script
(/sbin/init) failed.
Common causes are:
* /etc/rc.d/rc on Fedora Core 1 and RH9 fails always; the 'apt-rpm' build
method knows how to deal with this, but on existing installations,
appending 'true' to this file will help.
-
And zombies are starting to crawl again.
The first one to appear is [lockfile], followed by another of the same
species 10 minutes later. [If that rings a bell for you.]
Gilles
P.S. I have to leave now, but I'll be back later in the evening, on
IRC, if you're willing to investigate what's going on.

Re: [Vserver] kill: (1) - No such process
Hi.
You have to specify --initstyle plain when building the vserver or have
/etc/vservers/vserver/apps/init/style contain plain.
Thanks, that's the piece I was missing. So it worked, *once* :-{
After that on the next trials to start the vserver:
# vserver phony start
vcontext: vc_create_context(): File exists
An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence; when
there are no other messages, it is very likely that the init-script
(/sbin/init) failed.
Common causes are:
* /etc/rc.d/rc on Fedora Core 1 and RH9 fails always; the 'apt-rpm' build
method knows how to deal with this, but on existing installations,
appending 'true' to this file will help.
Failed to start vserver 'phony'
Why would 'init' work once and then fail?
Although I'm using Debian within the guest too, I tried the suggestion
indicated (appending true in /etc/init.d/rc) anyway, but it didn't
help.
How should I proceed from here?

Take a look at vserver-stat output. The init process is still running.
Somewhere between 1.9.5 and 2.0pre1 we enhanced the fakeinit support.
This included session group virtualization, but also init protection,
i.e. you can't get rid of init without kernel support. What you need to
do is sending the kill signal via vkill:
vkill --xid xid -s 9 -- 1
The tools don't do that yet, thus init will keep running. Sorry that I
didn't think of that when writing my last mail.

This is a mistake on packager's side. You can play with fakeinit to solve the situation, but in general software author should be educated. Actually, I sent a bug report on March 12 about that script's behaviour. But I didn't get any reaction. I also sent a mail to their mailing list a few days ago... (and it's not like it's vserver-only issue, there are other legitimate reasons why 'kill 1' would fail). That's why I hadn't asked here: At first I didn't notice the kill failure because it happens only when /etc/inittab is unmodified; every time afterwards, when dpkg tries to configure, it's another error that shows up. [It seems that the idempotency rule (from the Debian Policy) isn't followed here.] Then I thought about making the script happy anyway, with fakeinit. Free software used to be about quality, and if you raised such issue to software author she used to happily fix it... not always the case now. I just hope that it doesn't tell about the quality of runit itself... I think that service supervision is a nice idea that fits well with vserver (robustness and security).

[Vserver] kill: (1) - No such process
Hello. I'm trying to install a package in a Debian vserver, but the configuration script ends with kill -s HUP 1 (because the package modifies /etc/inittab). Hence the script aborts, and the package management system marks the package as Not fully installed. Is there a way to make that installation script happy; I mean: not doing anything on the host but nevertheless returning success from the above command? I've read something about fakeinit, which sounds like that should be it, but although I've added a flags file in /etc/vservers/name containing that word, it didn't change the script's behaviour.

Re: [Vserver] kill: (1) - No such process
Hmm... this command works for me with fakeinit on although, it should really be calling init q, but that's just me being picky. You did restart the vserver after adding the flag, yes? Enter the vserver and check if there's a process called init with a pid of 1 (use ps xa). You are using the new vserver utils? I'm using kernel 2.6.10 + vs 1.9.4 with the box I tested on.

I'm trying to install a package in a Debian vserver, but the configuration script ends with kill -s HUP 1 (because the package modifies /etc/inittab). Hence the script aborts, and the package management system marks the package as Not fully installed. Is there a way to make that installation script happy; I mean: not doing anything on the host but nevertheless returning success from the above command? I've read something about fakeinit, which sounds like that should be it, but although I've added a flags file in /etc/vservers/name containing that word, it didn't change the script's behaviour. How can I achieve that result? Thanks.
