It is because I wanted to look at some man page and it couldn't be displayed
because of "less" missing.

Yes, thanks for reminding me of this.
But, on second thought, maybe it is still better to have the script actually
"building" the vserver to remove package known to cause troubles (like "klogd"
for instance).

Ah, that's the use of the "/etc/vservers/.distributions" directory!
But there is currently no "debian" sub-directory there...

I noticed that but what I wanted to stress is that indeed "mtab" indicates
this "/dev/hdv1" although I couldn't find a reference to it (not in the config,
not in the host's "/dev" dir, not in the guest's).
Also what is this "ufs" type? This seems strange to me...

Actually I did specify a prefix; the "sysconfdir" is "/etc" (on the host) and
there is
no occurrence of "vprocunhide" below "/etc/vserver".
The vprocunhide script is located under
"/usr/local/util-vserver/lib/util-vserver";
what I actually want to know is where and what to write under
"/etc/vservers/template"
("template" is the name of my vserver) so that the script does its office.
Many thanks,

Sorry :-{, I didn't give it a try. All the discussions about
unstable vs development vs experimental vs stable left me a bit
confused. Maybe I missed the conclusion(s).
Is the current "experimental" vserver-patch for 2.6.x Debian-packaged?
Is the "vserver-debiantools" package compatible with the new "vserver-util"?
Do the latest "vserver-debiantools" correct the problems I mentioned in my
mail?
Thanks.

I too am working on Vserver under Debian. What you need to do is configure the vprocunhide script to be run on the main (master/host) system at least once: jose:/etc/rc2.d# ls -ltrc <...> lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25 Mar 6 12:19 S20vservers-legacy -> ../init.d/vservers-legacy lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26 Mar 6 12:19 S20vservers-default -> ../init.d/vservers-default lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21 Mar 6 12:19 S20vprocunhide -> ../init.d/vprocunhide I figured this out eventually, but the documenation is very confusing (it actually references 3 different paths for vprocunhide locations--the master one is $LIBDIR/util-vserver/defaults/vprocunhide-files ) Matt ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
[Vserver] Debian vserver guest
Hello. [Until we have a "plug-n-play" debian package with the latest version of vserver patch and tools,] I'm again trying to configure "Debian" vservers on Debian from source. Compiling kernel 2.6.11, patched with "patch-2.6.11-vs1.9.5-rc1.diff", and util-vserver-0.30.203 went fine. I built a Debian "template" vserver with vserver template build -m debootstrap \ --hostname template \ --netdev dummy0 --interface 192.168.83.99/24 \ --context 99 -- -d sarge The procedure completed fine too. But problems remains, some of which I had mentioned a few weeks ago. Ideally, the "template" should be with the minimum functionality, with everything that's necessary (to make it comfortable to install the server applications) and nothing that comes in the way of vserver (i.e. all hardware- and kernel-related packages). So here is a list of steps that could be added to the "vserver build" script to come closer to such a ready-to-use vserver environment: 1. Removing dispensable packages: pciutils fdutils ipchains makedev ppp pppconfig pppoe pppoeconf dhcp-client console-common console-data console-tools klogd sysklogd [Note: klogd still triggers that cpu-hogging behaviour, which makes it *indispensable* to remove...] Others? 2. Installing indispensable packages: less ssh Others? 3. Prepare for package installation: (a) Copy the contents of the host's "/etc/apt/sources.list" (b) Run "apt-get update" 4. Network interfaces (a) In the "/etc/init.d/reboot" script: Remove the "-i" option (to avoid the guest trying to deconfigure the network interfaces upon halting). (b) Remove "spurious" links to scripts that will try to configure the interfaces: update-rc.d -f ifupdown remove update-rc.d -f ifupdown-clean remove update-rc.d -f networking remove 5. ... [Not yet finished.] Some more questions: (a) Should I remove the "mount" package (to suppress any attempt by the vserver guest to try such things)? [The Debian package management issues a strong warning when uninstalling it (package is "essential").] Or should I only remove the symlinks as for the networking scripts? (b) At "vserver template stop", the following error is printed: Rebooting... /usr/local/util-vserver/sbin/vserver: line 740: test: too many arguments but there are only 273 lines in that file! (c) Inside the vserver, typing "mount" shows /dev/hdv1 on / type ufs (defaults) none on /proc type proc (defaults) none on /tmp type tmpfs (size=16m,mode=1777) none on /dev/pts type devpts (gid=5,mode=620) The contents of "/etc/vservers/template/fstab" is: none/proc procdefaults0 0 none/tmptmpfs size=16m,mode=1777 0 0 none/dev/ptsdevpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 So I wonder: Where does that "/dev/hdv1" entry come from?

I looked at http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~ensc/util-vserver/doc/conf/configuration.html but the only reference is in "/etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/vprocunhide", which does not appear in my config directory.

It appears to be an issue with creating a Vserver from a distribution
CDROM. I'll do some more checking. I've semi-resolved this issue but it
might have spawned another that has me going around in circles.
The short question is : has anyone got PostgreSQL 8.0.1 running in a
2.6.10-vs1.9.4 vserver?
The results I'm getting while trying to start postgresql are inconsistent
so I need some more tests to see if there is a discernible pattern.
