Re: [Vserver] vserver-new reports a guest exists when it does not
I had similar problems with the Debian version of this and my decision was to change so it check for the .../vserver/etc directory instead of the .../vserver directory. I had problem with check of .../vserver/var directory as it is used in a .deb cache feature.

[Vserver] vserver-new reports a guest exists when it does not
this is on a gentoo system. i am trying to create a guest called support. i created the mount point in /vservers, it is mounted and a clear, empty volume. i run this command and get this result: phoenix vservers # vserver-new support --hostname support --context 3920 --interface eth3:64.113.39.20/24 template /work/guest-stuff/template.tar.bz2 * Existing vserver installation found. Try --destroy support does not exist in /etc/vservers or in /vservers as a configured guest, the context 3920 does not exist either and the ip address is not in use. i have tried changing the name of the guest, the context number, even the ethernet device still the same... its almost behaving like it has run out of resources or something but there are only 8 guests in operation.. this would be the 9th. what could be happening? and of course this happens when the boss wants this done in the next few hrs... -- Chuck ...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.

H, might be a similar problem that I had with vserver-new... I created the /vserver/newvserverdir as a symbolic link to a fresh and empty volume, and vserver-new complained. I found that it seems to just check if the directory exists, and if it does, it will not make a new server. So I tried --destroy, and it did remove the link, and created a new directory on the root partition. OK. Well, anyway I did a manual mv of all the files to a symlinked dir and it seems to be OK. Possibly I bug in vserver-new this I don't know.
