reassign 329090 kernel-patch-vserver
thanks

Hello

Thanks a lot for your testing.

Micah could you test with 0.30.208-2 version of util-vserver (from unstable)
and a 2.6 kernel to see if you can remove all the problems?

See below why I would like you do that.

---

I have only tested with ext2 and ext3 on my systems on a 2.4.27 kernel
patched a long time ago. Do not remember when.

0.30.204-5sarge2 (sarge version, built on machine with no vserver support):
[000]. xattr related tests ...
[101]. [102]. [103]* [104]* [106]* [108]. [109]* 
[112]. [113]. [114]* [115]. [116]. [117]. [118]. [119]. 
[121]* [122]* [123]. [124]* [199]. 

0.30.204-5sarge3 (sarge version recompiled on vserver machine):
[000]. xattr related tests ...
[101]. [102]. [103]* [104]* [106]* [108]. [109]* 
[112]. [113]. [114]* [115]. [116]. [117]. [118]. [119]. 
[121]* [122]* [123]. [124]* [199]. 

0.30.208-2 (unstable version, built on sarge host with no vserver support):
[000]. xattr related tests ...
[101]. [102]. [103]. [104]* [106]. [108]. [109]. 
[112]. [113]. [114]* [115]. [116]. [117]. [118]. [119]. 
[121]. [122]* [123]. [124]* [199].

0.30.208-2sarge1 (unstable version rebuilt for sarge on vserver machine):
[000]. xattr related tests ...
[101]. [102]. [103]. [104]* [106]. [108]. [109]. 
[112]. [113]. [114]* [115]. [116]. [117]. [118]. [119]. 
[121]. [122]* [123]. [124]* [199]. 

So my conclusion is that where you build the binary (if it is a i386 machine)
do not give any difference from a security point of view.

Now to your testing...

Thanks a lot! It is really a big help.

Did similar but used lvm instead of loopback device.

Which means that this is a kernel patch problem as it fail on my system
with an older kernel patch.

This also mean that this is actually just a bug with 2.4 kernels.

Get the same result. Think I have used a similar patch.

So with your testing and mine I come to the conclusion that some of the
tests are related to util-vserver and some are related to the kernel. As all
of them was possible to fix (unless you use xfs or jfs) by using 
the latest kernel I assume that I can redirect this bug to the
kernel-patch-vserver package instead. But it would be good to know
if some of the errors was related to util-vserver or not.
