Will those changes be in a new sys-apps/baselayout or do you perform
some manual vserver related changes within the stage building process?
In the first case I should be able to simply update the baselayout
within an existing vserver...
this changes will be in a newer baselayout, but basically, you need the
following patch:

The /usr/portage and /tmp mounts are from the vserver's config fstab
(/etc/vservers/basesystem-ng/fstab).
The 'umount none:' messages are possibly related to /proc and /dev/pts
The internal vserver init process probably shouldn't try to swap-off and
unmount those mounts ;)
Are these some known issues or did I something completely wrong?
Many thanks for your help!

When you do a 'make install' from the same source tree, vhashify/vunify will still not work because most 'make install' do not preserve timestamps. But because timestamps are used to check whether files are identically resp. are going into the calculation of the hash value, you will not gain very much with vhashify/vunify on Gentoo. You have to use binary packages, then you will gain the same amount as with other distributions. And you have to compile the things only once. This is o.k. since the compiler-flags won't change from Vserver to VServer. The only issue might be with the portage-use-flags. well, if you want unification you probably use the same use flags among unified guests anyway...

Re: [Vserver] File clash between libvserver and util-vserver: libvserver.so
On Tuesday 06 September 2005 00:27, Christian Aichinger wrote: util-vserver should be known well enough, libvserver is a project started by Benedikt Boehm in the time when Enrico was away. It provides an interface to the vserver-patched kernel. Homepage of libvserver: http://dev.croup.de/proj/libvserver/wiki Libvserver provides a shared object, libvserver.so.1, while util-vserver provides libvserver.so.0. Those two file have different origins, don't share code and have different APIs. We first hit a problem with the libvserver Debian package (unofficial, provided by Balint Laszlo Biller), which was not installable in parallel with the util-vserver package (the official one), since they both contained a libvserver.so symlink to the actual library (also in the same directories). So on the one hand libvserver somehow invades util-vserver's namespace, since clearly util-vserver's libvserver.so was there first. OTOH util-vserver's library isn't actually used by anything else then util-vserver AFAICS, so it could probably live in /usr/lib/util-vserver. I think this would be a nice and clean solution. Another option would be to drop libvserver.so (only the symlink, not the library itself) from the util-vserver .deb. The plain .so should only be used for building software against the library anyway, and since there is no such software AFAIK, it's useless. It stays the problem that there would be 2 libs in /usr/lib with the same name, different so-versions, but with different origin and authors. I don't think this as such a nice situation in the long run, because I think ther will be more of the problems we already have. Eg. what happens if Enrico descides (for whatever strange reason, since there are no users of the library) to increase the so-version.. Yet another thing would be to rename libvserver, I but I guess Benedikt wouldn't be too glad about this. i'm not against it if someone has a _better_ name ;) What are your opinions on this?

[Vserver] Announcing libvserver-0.1
What is it? === This is a clean implementation of the Linux-VServer 2.0 API using a library which handles all vserver syscalls and provides a interface usable in other applications such as the tools provided with libvserver. The tools directory contains the most basic implementation of the syscall commands in user space. High-level programs such as the vserver command of util-vserver can use these tools to access the VServer API. What's wrong with libvserver from util-vserver? === Short version: I guess the main issue is that nobody can read enricos code well enough to fix/change it? Long version: The current alpha util-vserver package contains lots of obsoleted legacy code and also contains huge wrapper functions to provide access to all previous versions of the VServer API though making it quite hard to fix bugs or add new features in an adequate timeframe. What can i do to help? == Currently all syscalls are implemented in the library though very rough for now. Additionally some tools already contain basic implementations of the library such as vcontext, vnamespace, vsched and vsignal. So you see there's still a lot of work to do... If you'd like to participate in libvservers development feel free to contact me (Hollow) using IRC (irc.oftc.net#vserver) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can download version 0.1 at http://dev.gentoo.org/~hollow/vserver/libvserver/ ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Re: [Vserver] Starting vserver kills my X session

When starting up the vserver in 'sysv' mode, everything works just fine except that I can't reboot it from inside of the vserver. Reboot fails with: ~# reboot init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl So I changed the init method to 'plain' and did 'vserver popelka start'. The host came up in the background, but immediately my keyboard in X (xorg-x11-6.8.1/amd64) died I can confirm this, the plain init style causes exact the same error, and it doesn't matter where the vserver wa started, i tried, Konsole, the Terminal on Alt+F1, a screen session, ssh session.. the keyboard always died. and load came up to 1.00 because the 'X' process ended up eating all the CPU time. Everything else worked - I could use the mouse to exit X and logged in again and it worked fine until I did reboot from inside of the vserver. Now it succeeded, but as soon as the host was about to come up after reboot the keyboard died again. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I suspect the SuSE init or one of the initscripts run *something* that breaks X/keyboard. N.b. from text console it works with no problems. No success until now finding out why it dies... Is there anyting I should try to avoid this? Or is there any way to allow reboot from inside of the vserver without having 'init' process running? Thanks!

[Vserver] Experimental new features for Gentoo users
Hi all, i have just commited the sys-apps/baselayout ebuild, with a highly optimized version of baselayout for vserver, along with a vserver profile (in /usr/portage/profiles/vserver) adapted to needs for the baselayout and vserver in general. At the moment only glibc depends on sys-apps/baselayout instead of virtual/baselayout, so there are blocks, but this should be sorted out soon. So I encourage everone to test and report problems directly to me or bugzie I'm also working on a VServer Handbook for Gentoo users.
