[Vserver] stop error

2005-09-14 Thread Chuck

I just started my first vserver and it appears to work well however when I 
issue the stop command I get a timeout error.

I can enter the vserver just fine and it appears to be working and I can ping 
the outside world and the outside world can ping it ok. I have no services 
set up in it yet so I have nothing to enter it directly from the outside yet.

I exit the vserver by using the halt command. Then I issue this command and 
get this result:

davin / # vserver gentoo stop 
A timeout occured while waiting for the vserver to finish and it was
killed by sending a SIGKILL signal. Please investigate the reasons
and/or increase the timeout in apps/vshelper/sync-timeout.

It does stop the verserver anyway. I checked that path and the only entry in 
apps was vunify.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

hmm, I assume you entered it with 'vserver name enter'
if so, try to exit it with 'exit' or CTRL-D

we are currently investigating this, basically the 
following happens ...

 - the guest is instructed to shut itself down
 - the guest executes some shutdown scripts, but
   leaves somethin running
 - a timeout occurs, and kills off whatever is
   still running inside
 - the guest is properly terminated ...

 It does stop the verserver anyway. I checked that path and the only

probably not, it seems that this happens with
certain guest setups (shutdown scripts) and we
will work around that pretty soon, I hope :)

best,
Herbert

yes i did and i discovered exit by habit of typing exit out of my shells. that 
worked well. better than halt.

the odd thing is, when i use the init script to start/stop the vservers i do 
not get any errors at all but i imagine it is still there just not shown 
since it takes timeout time to stop..

ok i will also report this to hollow since his setup suggestions are the ones 
I followed and I used his vserver modified stage3/base layout for gentoo.
I will also mention the need for the attrs mount option in the host fstab for 
reiserfs so he can add that as a note in his how-to.
