Hello,
I am opening as requested a different topic for my problem also if to me it appears to be the same as in:
http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&goto=4955&# msg_4955
I am running HW node with Debian-31r4-i386. My VPS are Debian based too. I create without trouble VPS both using the supplied Debian template cache and with custom template build upon guide in the wiki.
I discovered that attempting to install gnome on my VPS completly breaks down VPS /dev, after the installation process what's left of the previous 1548 items is:
vz202:/# ls -l /dev
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 25 13:08 MAKEDEV -> /sbin/MAKEDEV
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Feb 25 13:08 core -> /proc/kcore
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 25 13:08 fd -> /proc/self/fd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 25 13:08 initctl -> /dev/.static/dev/initctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 25 13:08 log -> /dev/.static/dev/log
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Feb 25 13:08 loop
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Feb 25 13:08 net
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90 Feb 25 13:10 null
crw------- 1 root root 108, 0 Feb 25 13:08 ppp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 25 12:50 pts
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 Feb 25 12:50 shm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 25 13:08 sndstat -> /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 25 13:08 stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 25 13:08 stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 25 13:08 stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 25 13:08 xconsole -> /dev/.static/dev/xconsol
Obviously anything goes and the VPS get completly useless: only vzctl destroy VPSID left...
Problem rises both with custom and supplied template cache.
It appears the problem is quite the same as in the above topic, I guess vzdev/udev is the problem.
I can't apply the same suggested solution as I can't locate the vzdev package (if any for Debian...).
Nor expert enough to turn the suggested RH based process to Debian.
Last note: indeed to run gnome session inside a VPS is not a necessity for me, just curiosity. But the discovered behavior made me fear there could be some more wired dependencies somewhere else, thus making the update of a system a very risky task.
Regards
tb
