Re: [Vserver] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: java crash in vserver...
Hello, I made a package of my guest 'gis' (about 465 MB): /etc/vservers/gis (config of the image) /vservers/gis (home of the guest images) http://www.archit.uni-karlsruhe.de/geoserver/vserver.tar.bz2 ok, i've tried it. The problem is caused by running out of space on /tmp. You mount that on tmpfs, specified in fstab in the vserver-config dir: none /tmptmpfs size=16m,mode=1777 0 0 If you remove or comment-out this line (or increase the size), it works.

[Vserver] possibly dumb question
i am installing a workstation which i have no plans to use as a vserver host however there may be that possibility in the mid to far future... are the kernels produced with the vserver patches 'improved' over std kernels and generally work better? or is it by its nature causing slight overhead compared to without? i guess it boils down to use vserver patches on a normal workstation kernel or not? i have this undefined suspicion it is better with but would like a more factual answer :) -- Chuck ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Re: [Vserver] Acceptable characters in a vserver name?
Guillaume Pratte wrote: Hello, A quick question. What are the acceptable characters in a vserver name? I would suppose [a-z][A-Z] + '_' and '-' are ok, but are accents, spaces and other characters acceptable? I'd like to say yes, but I haven't tried it. It's a bug if it doesn't work. -- Daniel Hokka Zakrisson ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
