I know that all the documentation says that you cannot run the nfs kernel server within a vserver and I was wondering why and what are the issues?
I thought that I read somewhere that it would be hard to do in a secure fashion. So I have to ask: does that mean that if security were not an issue, it would be doable? Would the vserver in question simply need to have all restrictions removed (all capabilities added?) Is there an easy way to add all capabilities, or not remove them in the first place, even if this involved hacking the vserver-start script? If I cannot get it to work in an actual vserver, would there be away to get it to work it in some pseudo-vserver environment? What I mean is that, it seems to work in a simple chrooted environment, can I keep adding the various vserver abstractions (chbind ...) right up until the point before it no longer works? Has anyone tried anything crazy like that? Is there an easy way to go about debugging such a setup? I don't have a very good understanding of what a vserver is, does what I am asking even make sense? Is there an effort to try and get an nfs-kernel server to work within a vserver already on going somewhere? -Martin Note: This is being asked from a hacking standpoint, so warnings about it being a bad thing are welcomed as long as they are accompanied by "but this is how you could do it". Please do not just tell me that it would be a bad idea. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
