here is what i am running in production on 2 machines
kernel: 2.6.13.3-vs2.1.0-rc4
i use a vanilla kernel with the vserver patch.
i found that for me, i get better performance out of the vanilla kernels than
i do the gentoo-patched ones.. guess my system is weird is all. :)
tools: util-vserver-0.30.208-r5
guest base layout: baselayout-vserver-1.11.13-r1
i was running 1.12.0_pre8-r2 on other machines with no problem, but the above
one came with the p3 stage 3 i made my template from so i stuck with it since
that has the fixes needed in it too. on my personal workstation im running
the 1.12 series vserver baselayout in my remote desktop guest.
i just checked and my init has no tty entries either so something must have
gotten mixed up.. i would seriously suggest re-emerging the
baselayout-vserver in the guest and see what it does. just be sure there are
no ._cfg* files laying around first so it would be a clean emerge.
there was a start/stop issue using the util-vserver -r4 init script which was
fixed in -r5.
the -r4 vservers initscript gave errors something like this, at least for me
it did...
on start
eron ~ # /etc/init.d/vservers start
chdir(): No such file or directory
chdir(): No such file or directory
* Unhiding /proc entries ...
