  Hi,

 Hi Sebastian!

  I've got another Problem. When I'm using Context Disk Limits
  it is necassary to set the context ID in the configuration
  file with the Option S_CONTEXT. But when I set the context
  ID the vservers so not start while starting the System
  although the ON_BOOT Flag is set to yes.
 
  The following message appears:
 
  Starting the virtual server host2
  Server host2 is not running
  Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu
 
  When there is no context ID set, the vserver is starting
  while starting the System.

 first I have to apologize, yesterday my cat broke my
 crystal ball, and the spare one is somewhere hidden
 in the cellar ... so I have to ask:

Ohh, that's bad. ;)

Here's the info...


 what kernel version?
2.4.25-v1.27

 what patch version?
patch-2.4.26-vs1.27.diff
patch-2.4.25-vs1.27-q0.14.diff

 what tools and what tool version?
util-vserver-0.30

 what host distro?
Debian Woody

 what guest distro?
also Debian Woody

 what configuration?
S_HOSTNAME=host2
IPROOT=192.168.1.122
IPROOTDEV=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
S_NICE=
S_FLAGS=lock nproc fakeinit
ULIMIT=-u 256 -n 1024 -t 32768
#S_CAPS=CAP_NET_RAW
S_CONTEXT=102
# *NOT* DNS domain name, for NIS only
S_DOMAINNAME=

Hope it helps a little bit finding the Problem...

I've got another Question: Is it correct, that either i can use
S_CAPS=CAP_NET_RAW and can ping but also can see the Network Traffic of the
other Vserver with tcpdump or don't use S_CAPS=CAP_NET_RAW but can't ping
anymore?

Sebastian


 TIA,
 Herbert

 Does anyone have a haresource script for vserver, they would like to share?

If reading a few lines in italian does not bother you,
here [0] is the installation log of the following setup:
- 2 hosts with kernel 2.4.26 + vserver vs1.28 + fpu-state-fix 
  (kernel installation log covered here: [1])
  One host server active, second in standby.
- drbd (0.7_pre10_20040709) sharing the /vserver partition
- debian woody  
- heartbeat between hosts (serial, eth0, eth1)
- wrote short 'cluster' script in /etc/ha.d/resource.d/cluster 
  for vserver [shutdown]/migration/restart: the core line is:
  drbd primary all  mount $SHARED_MOUNTPOINT   vserver start
- arp takeover in /etc/vserver/name.conf

This simple experimental setup works quite well, with the handover
of vserver between hosts in 10-20 pings. 

BTW, I wish to thank very much the developers of vserver project
and all the community:  vservers really changed my life (my problem
now is vserver names shortage :)

Cheers

[Vserver] test and cowlinks

2004-08-03 Thread Jörn Engel
To avoid sending a pure test message and being banned from the list,
I'll have to add something useful as well... cowlinks.

Matt and Herbert have told me they really want that project to get
finished asap - reason enough for me to give it some more focus again.

The patches on the webpage got updated and now include a fix from
Herbert.  Thanks for that one!  If noone beats me to it, I'll check
with Andrew Morton whether the three infrastructure patches can be
included into -mm.

Madcow is called mad because it's just that.  You have to decide
whether you want hard links or cow links.  Either get rid of hard
links completely and confuse some programs.  Or use them for some
directory trees only and get problems whenever moving between
madcow-trees and regular trees.  Not good.

A real cowlink patch is started but still quite ugly.  It's a bit
embarrasing, but if people don't care and want to test it anyway,
feedback is always welcome.  I'll try to add some design details to
the webpage soon.


So if anyone want to participate in any way - coding, testing,
discussion, userspace programs, documentation, whatever - please let
me know.  Help is always appreciated.

Oh yes, the web page is here:

[Vserver] heartbeat haresource file for vserver

I am trying to create new haresource script to cover vserver.
Does anyone have a haresource script for vserver, they would like to share?

And could not find more information on doing this.

2004-08-03 Thread Lucas Albers
Thanks, this is exactly what I am looking for.
I will try and translate it to english.
I understand all the configuration files, so it is useful.
Do you have more then one vserver active on the same host server at a time?

maybe some information how the COW issue is currently
addressed in linux-vserver. we are using something 
called immutable linkage invert or immutable unlink
(or hundred other names folks invented ;) but it 
basically works like this:

you create a hardlink of a file for several servers
(sometimes to a template, sometimes just between
the servers), then set the immutable attribute (which
can not be reverted inside a virtual server), and
an additional attribute (now called iunlink) which
permits the user to unlink such an otherwise immutable
hardlink reference ...

this is sufficient for most package updates and 
similar but of course a smart solution (CoW*) would
be appreciated ...

btw, the process of identifying identical files and
combining them into an immutable but unlinkable hard
reference is (here) called unification, and is done
by some userspace tools ...

 A real cowlink patch is started but still quite ugly.  It's a bit
 embarrasing, but if people don't care and want to test it anyway,
 feedback is always welcome.  I'll try to add some design details to
 the webpage soon.

 So if anyone want to participate in any way - coding, testing,
 discussion, userspace programs, documentation, whatever - please let

I'm willing to help where it is required, as much
as my time permits ...

Herbert

Yes, that was an interesting idea but turned out to be useless.

In other words, you use a hack just like everyone else.  Madcow is a
hack as well, no doubt.  My non-existing impementation of what's to a
great deal Pavel's design should be sane - finally.

 btw, the process of identifying identical files and
 combining them into an immutable but unlinkable hard

Great!  I would have written something like that as well, but if it
already exists and the code is not unhealthy to look at... do you have
a url or something such?

 I'm willing to help where it is required, as much
 as my time permits ...

I appreciate that.  First thing would be a comment on my interface
design.  Will document that asap (but not today anymore).
