Dear Herbert, hi all,
how, and what partition is related to what vroot device?
The partition /dev/mapper/lvm-vweb_home is related to the guest's device
/vservers/web/dev/hdv4 via /dev/vroot/vweb4
> does /dev/hdv4 exist and is it the proper vroot device?
HOST:~# ls -al /dev/vroot/
[...]
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 5 Dec 23 19:15 vweb4
The block device is copied from the host system's /dev/vroot/vweb4 using
vrsetup /dev/vroot/vweb4 /dev/mapper/lvm-vweb_home;
cp -fa /dev/vroot/vweb4 /vservers/web/dev/hdv4;
web:/# ls -al /dev/
[...]
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 4, 5 Dec 23 19:15 hdv4

HOST:~# cat /etc/vservers/web/ccapabilites
quota_ctl
^^ this is a blank line ;-)
HOST:/# cat /etc/vservers/web/apps/init/mtab
[...]
/dev/hdv4 /home ufs defaults,noexec,nosuid,usrquota 0 0
HOST:~# mount
[...]
/dev/mapper/lvm-vweb_home on /vservers/web/home type ext3 \
(rw,noexec,nosuid,usrquota)
web:/# mount
[...]
/dev/hdv4 on /home type ufs (defaults,noexec,nosuid,usrquota)
Am I missing something?
At least as far as I can see, the settings of grsec should permit the
usage of quota. Btw, quota on the partition beeing run from the host
system works. (But I didn't find a way to pass the guest's passwd to the
host's quota-tools as a first workaround.)
well, I think it would require some dedication, but
I also think that the demand is not really there ATM
a few weeks ago, somebody started to test context quota
and AFAIK, the entire testing was put on hold again ...
so unless somebody (or even better, a bunch of folks)
starts to do serious testing there, I'm still inclined
to removing the entire context quota stuff from the
kernel patches ...
note: that will still allow to have per partition quota
as you described it above, only shared quota on a common
partition (shared between guests) will not work
Alright, thanks for clearification!
kind regards,
Thorsten
