Public bug reported: vserver is a powerfull yet easy to use virtualisation architecture. vserver it self depends from specific features in the kernel, so this have to be patched, which is not an easy task. Also, maintenance of those patched kernel becomes very tedious.
People are building and distributing those kernel themselves: http://git.u32.net/, but using a private build kernel is for security reasons not recommended. Another solution is using a kernel from debian. In debian, a modified kernel is build and distributed trough the normal repo's. Using a debian build kernel seems to works, but one can expect problems with this solution. So, all solutions provide a great barrier for using vserver. That's a pity, because Ubuntu want to be a 'first citizen' as virtualisation host: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuVirtualisationHostSpec I would like to see that a patched kernel to be build and distributed trough the Ubuntu repo's. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- vserver enabled kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
