Util-vserver for Debian: ------------------------ FHS compliance: =============== On a default installation of util-vserver vservers are stored in: /var/lib/vservers The reason for this is to comply with Debian policy that enforce the directory structure specified by FHS and LSB. If you need to change that location and use the legacy mode you have to change the variable DEFAULT_VSERVERDIR in /etc/vservers/util-vserver-vars to point to the directory where you choose to locate your vservers. If you use the normal mode for vservers you have to change the /etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase symlink to point to the correct directory. You can also change the symlink for each vserver specifically. SECURITY notice: ================ If you cannot store all your vservers in the same place in the filesystem, do *not* symlink them from the /var/lib/vservers directory, but instead redirect the vdir symlink in /etc/vservers//vdir instead. Filesystem options: =================== For reiserfs, "attrs" must be added as a mount option. Extended attributes for the filesystem doesn't have to be set in the kernel. If not you will see this when installing/upgrading: lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /var/lib/vservers/ -- Ola Lundqvist , Fri, 7 Jan 2005 18:20:04 +0100
