1210189475 M * JW It's it just trying to umount what it considers to be / ? 1210189500 M * Bertl it tries to unmount what's in /etc/mtab 1210189519 M * Bertl and /etc/mtab contains the guest side filesystems 1210189524 M * JW /dev/hdv1 / ufs 1210189537 M * Bertl (which is required to make df and friends happy) 1210189538 N * DoberMann[PullA] DoberMann 1210189544 M * JW What does that really represent - some sort of unioun mount? 1210189566 M * Bertl no, the / is a pure fake, filesystem is usually shared 1210189571 M * Bertl the /tmp is real 1210189574 M * JW yeah I thought so 1210189588 M * JW So the failed "umount" really isn't much of a "failure" anyway, right? 1210189593 M * ktwilight_ hm, so it's unsafe to not umount /tmp? 1210189615 M * Bertl no, it's safe not to unmount it 1210189626 M * JW ktwilight_: I fixed that problem by commenting out the ramfs /tmp 1210189633 M * JW 16MB of /tmp isn't enough anyway 1210189645 M * Bertl for sane apps/processes it is 1210189645 M * JW wp: I'm on Debian stable too 1210189654 M * wp JW: so you should have this issue also? 1210189668 M * JW wp: yes, I actually asked about it here a few hours before you did :-) 1210189682 M * JW Bertl: yeah, true, but I like to use /tmp for things like tarballs and sql dumps :-D 1210189700 M * Bertl why not use /var/tmp for that? 1210189707 M * wp http://www.pastebin.ca/1010998 1210189715 M * ktwilight_ wp, it's not good to enable SYS_ADMIN btw, you're opening up a whole can of worms. 1210189728 M * wp ktwilight_: i'm not planning to :P 1210189740 M * ktwilight_ :) 1210189750 M * JW Bertl: Are you kidding, I'd have to type ANOTHER letter to get into /var/tmp :-D 1210189767 M * ktwilight_ lazy admins :) 1210189770 M * JW heh 1210189774 M * Bertl actually at least two more keystrokes :) 1210189791 M * JW Yeah I forget the tab is a keystroke to so TWO more . .

Nothing? 1210189911 M * Bertl no problem there, will go away magically when the namespace is disposed 1210189929 M * JW wp: I had a cluster of 1Us that provided a variety of functions for a ruby/rails based application server 1210189940 M * JW rails, apache, DB, svn, capistro, misc 1210189960 M * JW I consolidated them all into a bunch of vservers. For the most part they are all just web backends 1210189974 M * wp ah cool 1210189976 M * JW wp: but I have not found any problems with running multiple services inside each one 1210189993 M * Bertl less isolation, no problem there either 1210189993 M * wp i see 1210189998 M * JW I don't know why but it really tickles me to ssh into each one 1210190023 M * JW About 5 or 7 years ago, 1210190029 M * wp i splitted up per service, so i can upgrade each vserver separetly 1210190041 M * JW I tried to use SuSE + SELinux + some chrooot/jails stuff to make a sort of vserver, 1210190044 M * wp but i used to be on gentoo and now converting to debian 1210190049 M * JW I spent a ton of time on it and it was HUGE mess :-) 1210190066 M * wp first bsd + jails 1210190070 M * JW The simplicity of vservers makes me exteremely happy :-D 1210190071 M * wp then gentoo + vserver 1210190075 M * wp and now debian + vserver 1210190081 M * JW :-) 1210190082 M * Bertl jails on steroids :) 1210190087 M * JW yeah 1210190094 M * wp indeed :) 1210190095 M * JonB Bertl: not LSD ? 1210190100 M * wp i still have one box to convert heh 1210190121 M * JW I'm now in the middle of moving the vservers to another host server 1210190133 M * wp JW: do you mount /usr from the guests to the hosts or just / and /tmp? 1210190137 M * JW I found out in the process that the debian copy of vserver-copy is quite broken 1210190139 M * wp i wonder why /tmp only has 16M? 1210190154 M * JonB wp: it is a ramfs 1210190165 M * JW Also that there's some misc muddle of inconsistency between defaulting to /vserver /vservers and /var/lig/vservers 1210190166 M * Bertl JW: with recent tools, you might want to try the rsync build method 1210190169 M * JW Even the man pages don't agree 1210190188 M * JW I'm not sure if it's Debian's orignial problem or came from upstream 1210190192 M * Bertl JW: well, /vservers is the canonical path, /var/lib/vservers is debian :) 1210190201 M * JW Bertl: I had that feeling 1210190205 J * bfremon ~ben@lns-bzn-32-82-254-21-228.adsl.proxad.net 1210190225 M * JW wp: I only have / and /proc 1210190232 M * JW wp: no /tmp, no /usr 1210190236 M * JW keeps it simple 1210190253 M * Bertl wp: because it is kept entirely in memory 1210190255 M * JW There's a /dev/pts in there by default too 1210190269 M * JW wp: as Bertl said, 16 is probably enough. 1210190272 M * wp JW: you edit it by hand or can you make a template for a vserver? 1210190278 M * JW wp: also,you can easily make it bigger if you need 1210190290 M * JW wp: don't quite understand you, sorry 1210190291 M * wp yeah i understand :) 1210190299 M * Bertl wp: template is another build method, besides cloning a guest 1210190301 M * JW I edit the stuff under /etc/vservers by hand 1210190304 Q * bfremo1 Ping timeout: 480 seconds 1210190334 M * wp ok 1210190338 M * JW Bertl: the Debian vserver-copy script freaks out if it doesn't find /etc/vservers/SERVER.conf 1210190346 M * wp i just wonder how other people use this. :) 1210190352 M * JW Bertl: which does not even exist on my install 1210190364 M * JW and it doens't copy the /etc/vservers/SERVER_DIR 1210190367 M * JW at all 1210190399 M * Bertl JW: that's not part of the util-vserver package at all, not even the ancient debian one, right? 1210190410 M * JW Was vservers's config stored in a .conf file instead of a directory at some point in the past? 1210190422 M * Bertl JW: yes, roughly 4 years ago 1210190432 M * Bertl hmm, probably five 1210190435 M * JW Bertl: I don't mean litteraly SERVER.conf, just whatever matches the vservername .conf 1210190447 M * JW Ah so the copy script is out of date with the rest of the package 1210190464 M * daniel_hozac it's a legacy script. 1210190474 M * JW daniel_hozac: what's the modern one? 1210190480 M * JW or modern method? 1210190491 M * JW I ended up sying scp and rsync by hnad :-D 1210190513 M * Bertl the beforementioned clone or rsync method 1210190531 M * Bertl see 'vserver - build --help' for details 1210190546 M * JW I saw you say "rsync method" but didn't see any details.
