[Vserver] chroot barrier problem when consolidating var and etc

2007-03-01 Thread Martin Fick
I have run into a chroot barrier problem when consolidating a vserver's etc and var files under the same parent directory. When the /etc/init.d/util-vserver script runs it sets a chroot barrier on the parent of the vserver's var directory. If the etc and var directories share this parent the

I am cross posting this to both the drbd and the vserver lists since it seems very relevant to both. I am using drbd with vservers and I am running into a problem trying to make drbd devices go secondary, they report a device busy problem. I have read everything here, but I do not think this

That's a great paper, I enjoyed reading it. I would almost suggest forwarding it to the LKML, expecially the part about dd cache spoiling. Good benchmarks can impact the way kernel developers think. You never know, with a good benchmark to show a specific problem, you might find a fix for that
