Hi,

i'm planning to mount the whole vz directory through nfs.
The idea behind the scenario is having the vz directory stored on a raid5 nas server and several boxes running vz kernel which can run a ve from nas vz tree.
So i can easily swich one ve to another box if the load on the box is too heavy.

I did that by the following way:
I have set up a box with the vz stuff and tested the ve's.
Then i rsynced the /var/lib/vz directory to the nas server.
I exported /srv/vz by:
/srv/vz box*(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check)
I mounted the /srv/vz to a vz box by:
mount nas1:/srv/vz /var/lib/vz

And started one ve. Now, i get some really strange behavoir:

box1:~# vzctl start 500
Removing stale loroot@auth:/#ck file /var/lib/vz/lock/500.lck
Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.66.199
Setting CPU units: 1000
Set hostname: auth
File resolv.conf was modified
VE start in progress...

box1:~# vzctl enter 500
entered into VE 500
root@auth:/# l

root@auth:/# logout
exited from VE 500

i got logged out automatically after i listed the directory.
It doesnt matter what i type, i always get logged out after the first command when i enter the fresh started ve.

Well, i reenter:

box1:~# vzctl enter 500
entered into VE 500
root@auth:/# ps a
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
4880 pts/0 Ss 0:00 -bash

14778 pts/0 R+ 0:00 vzctl enter 500
15804 pts/0 Ss 0:00 -bash
root@auth:/#

The really strange thing is that i get the whole process tree, now only the ve processes!!

I leave the ve:

root@auth:/# logout
exited from VE 500
box1:~#

And i want to shut down the VE:

box1:~# vzctl stop 500
Stopping VE ...

Connection to box1 closed by remote host.
Connection to box1 closed.

Now the whole System hangs up!

Are the problems known and are they going to fixed?
And if not, which alternatives there are to get the above described scenario?

Some infos:
vz kernel: 2.6.18-028test010.1-ovz-smp
system: Debian etch
Filesystem: xfs

Any help appreciated Smile

Hi,

I get the same error:

No problems if i use an XFS partition to store VE privates directories, but when accessed mounted localy with NFS, VEs use the hosts's root and not their private one. IP configuration also comes on the host... and everything crash.

Any idea ?

kernel 2.6.18-028test010
debian etch
XFS
nfs-kernel server into host

Thanks
