After 3 weeks of struggling with chrooted apache (still a lot of thinks broken) I would like to try this vserver-concept for web (apache+mysql+php) and mail (sendmail+uw-imap+clamav +spamassassin), but until last week I did not hear about vserver, I do not know how stable it is, how much cpu/ram overhead it creates, etc... It works great. No obvious memory or CPU overhead. It's not the most secure thing in the world, as all the memory is available to each vserver. That's a good thing for the most efficient memory usage, but does mean one vserver can hog all the RAM if it wants. Xen is a proper virtual server system. However you allocate a fix amount of memory to each VM which is quite wasteful. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

BTW, am I wrong if I think one can limit resources for vserver with u/rlimits (settings in /etc/vservers/*/rlimits)? Jarry -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!

Well, not worse then having all services running on one server. Very true. BTW, am I wrong if I think one can limit resources for vserver with u/rlimits (settings in /etc/vservers/*/rlimits)? That's what the documentation suggests, the vservers I run are relatively simple affairs for internal use only, so I haven't bothered with any limits. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
