Unfortunately I can't answer this, although I can't recall many other saying they'd experienced problems--Jacques is the one who knows that script and I think it's tied in with the RedHat/RPM layout. It works by duplicating the existing filesystem layout. If you just want to get some vservers, up and running quickly without hassle you can boot Debian on them (which will install itself directly off the FTP sites); and should work on any Debian or RPM-based host: http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/debian/ (Read the README). > Whatever I tried, it either gives an error (to fast for me to read) and > exits or gives an error and exits after copying couple directories. I'm not sure if the RedHat newvserver script messes around with the file-descriptors, but you may be just able to redirect the *error* messages to a file: # newvserver [...] 2> ~/newvserver-error.log If it runs non-interactively (I forget), you can direct both stderr and stdout to a file: # newvserver [...] 2>&1 > ~/newvserver-error.log You can also pause the output (scroll-lock) with `Ctrl-S' and unpause the scrolling again with `Ctrl-Q' whilst it is running. -Paul -- Nottingham, GB
