As i said, i'm new to vservers on linux... bsd jails i know with unionfs
so that i would not rebuild the system again on each necesary update.
I was thinking of keeping all the core packages on the host in ro mode
and only install particular packages based on necesity.
This ideea is best described by slax livecd.
I'm always open to new and better ideas, so, any links are welcome.

Hi all,
i'm just starting with the ideea of vserver and i was thinking if
anyone could point me towards some info related to using (configuring)
vserver with unionfs and maybe give some hardware requirements
(memory, procs, space) needed to run a couple :)
the probably strange question is, why would you want
to use unionfs, when you can have unifiation, which
usually suits the linux-vserver guest setup much
more than some overlay filesystem?
typical advantages over unionfs:
- less overhead for access and modification
- reduced cache usage (hardlinks)
- can be re-unified at any time
- does not require patches or modules
HTH,
