Re: [Vserver] Major Upgrade Question
I had problems, about 1 year ago, with gentoo vs that started in 'gentoo' mode instead of plain after such an upgrade. I must say that my version of vserver-utils and vserver-sources was really old. Since this gentoo start mode had been removed, it was not an easy update at all. I had problems with baselayout at that time too (also connected to gentoo vservers). Now, I had no problem with the kernel update itself, so I guess it depends on whether you updated your server on a regular basis or let it alone for more than one year (mine had not been updated for a lng time). Of course, that is only *my* experience. Others might have another view. Cheers. 2007/5/22, John Alberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi. I'm using vserver successfully on a production server for over 1.5 years now. I have upgraded without major problems in the past, but it seems that there has been a pretty big change in revision numbers since my last update. This is a Gentoo host vserver and I am running vserver-sources v2.0.2.1 and util-vserver v0.30.212-r1. The upgrade will move me to vserver-sources v2.2.0 and util-vserver v0.30.212-r2. Does anyone think there will be any things I should watch out for with this upgrade? Will I need to upgrade anything in the guest os's after or before I upgrade the host?

You may copy the file from the host, but have to make it so that it is owned by owner root and group fuse inside the client (this is the standard set up SFAIK). I order to get a fuse program working in a recent LTSP set up I also needed to add to the ccapabilities that guest. I needed to add both SECURE_MOUNT and BINARY_MOUNT. cheers -- From Ben Green ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
[Vserver] fuse ( sshfs ) in guests
Before I start messing around with systems is anyone running fuse-sshfs from inside a guest? I see the fuse module, so I assume :-), all I need to do is get it loaded then install fuse-sshfs, fuse, fuse-libs into a guest. I am a little concerned that fuse and fuse-libs might clash with the vs2 module? Rod -- ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
Re: [Vserver] Gentoo and hashified files

Is it just /var and parts of /etc that > are externally mounted, while /usr, /lib etc. are all shared? Its a bit tricky - I will sketch the setup for you: I have a template /vservers/template - that is a full blown gentoo installation for vservers. When I do updates, I do them by chroot'ing to this dir - NOT by entering a vserver! This way the portage and the dependency database (stored in /var/) get updated. In the vserver guests fstab, I mount the "per guest" partition to /disk and overlay some bind-mounts for /var and some of the /etc directories (not the whole one!). For easy setups its also ok to make symlinks from /etc to the var partition The only thing you must take care of, are updates that change the config-files syntax. It should be obious that files on the per-guest config system (the cut-out parts of /etc and perhaps things in /var) are not updated. I use this setup for Webservers mainly, they are nearly equal so I just have a differing config for /etc/apache2, all network and hostname stuff ist done from outside.
