 ok, i've tried it.

Great thanks a lot!

 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.

With a size of 64m it works for me.

Thanks to all for solving this topic!

Regards
Thomas

[Vserver] Gentoo and hashified files

2007-05-14 Thread Einar S. Idsø
Hi,

Does anyone successfully use vunify/vhashify with Gentoo-based vservers?
If so, could you share some pointers to getting started, as well as
possible pitfalls, e.g. related to emerging new packages, having
different USE-flags and such?

Cheers,
Einar S. Idsø

 if you add the Linux-VServer patches, you will find
 an application for the features sooner than you think
 (e.g. limit a service to certain ips, use the CoW
 link breaking to save diskspace ...)
 

heh never thought of using the features elsewhere :) thanks!

btw, a few hours after i sent the original message, i was forced to retire the 
remote kde desktop server i have set up for our other remote admins (psu 
failed 'hot' and several motherboard chips literally exploded) , so now i do 
have a need for a guest :)

  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?
 
 if there is noticeable overhead, it is considered a
 bug and should be reported :)
 
  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 :)
 
 well, it should not hurt, of course, if you don't
 need it, and/or already patched your kernel with
 several other patches, I would not compile it in
 just for the fun of doing it ...
 
got lazy and installed the gentoo vserver-sources rather than work on a 
vanilla kernel.

 HTH,
 Herbert

 hi,
 
 i have some finished centos 5 images for linux vserver:
 http://www.cryptronic.de/wiki/Vserver_en:images_for_openvcp
 
 to get yum working:
 
 edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
 
 and replace $releasever and $basearch with hardcoded values eg
 $relesevar: 5
 $basearch: i386
 
 after that yum works quite fine.
 
 Why would you do that? Why doesn't it have centos-release installed, and 
 why can't it figure out the architecture on its own?

[Vserver] Localhost definition problem with Postfix/Amavisd-new

2007-05-14 Thread Alejandro Cabrera Obed
Dear all,

Today I write to Herbert because I lost my mail account password, but
now I retrieve itso I have a question to ask you. I have Debian Etch
with a vserver, having a base host and two vservers. One of these
vservers has a LDAP server with localhost mapped to a private
non-routable IP and it runs OK, and the other vserver has a mail server
using Postfix/Courier/Amavisd-new/Spamassassin/Clamav, where I map
localhost to 192.168.0.1 (another private non-routable IP).

But I can't put the mail server to work because the Postfix can't
establish a connection to the amavisd. Because of the variety of
components I suspect that amavisd-new, spamassassin or clamav are
hardcoded to 127.0.0.1, so I can't use a private non-routable IP as
localhost.

My question is: do you recommend to me to map localhost to 127.0.0.1 as
usual in my mail server (vserver) because some mail packages could be
hardcoded ??? Or is it OK to continue using localhost mapped to
192.168.0.1 defined as the localhost interface of my vserver 

Thanking in advance,

Alejandro
