bz@ just committed a feature announcement for VIMAGE:

http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/sys/net/vnet.c?r1=217203r2=217202pathrev=217203

# sysctl kern.features.vimage


it's been MFCed to stable/8 and will be part of FreeBSD 8.3 (it'll
miss 8.2).

way for determine VIMAGE feature

2011-01-09 Thread Subbsd
Hi

is there any mechanism to find out from userland  is supports the
current kernel VIMAGE or not? something like 'sysctl
kern.features.vnet=1' ?
Thanks

I've not been able to determine this either, but as it requires kernel
re-configuration, I usually just know. In my scripts, I make sure and
fail if the call to create a vnet jail fails:

sh -c 'TEST=$(sudo jail -c vnet name=test host.hostname=test path=/) ;
if [ $? = 1 ]; then echo VIMAGE NOT AVAILABLE ; exit 1 ; fi'

...or something like that.

There may be a better way, or perhaps there should be.

I would just go with jail -c vnet command=/usr/bin/true or something
along these liens for the pure test.  Otherwise you might end up with
a running jail, that you may not want unless you test it with the
complete command line.



...or something like that.

Or there will be if there isn't yet.  I remember I added a FEATURE()
macro somehere.  At least my dev machine already has it...

# sysctl -a kern.features
kern.features.compat_freebsd7: 1
kern.features.compat_freebsd6: 1
kern.features.compat_freebsd5: 1
kern.features.compat_freebsd4: 1
