Re: Access Cdrom, reboot and other questions

Hi, thanks for the isofs patch. I applied it to the srpm kernel and
recompiled the kernel. The compile went fine and the kernel installs fine
but I get the same error in a ve when I try to mount the cd.

I have attached the patch file that I used as well as the kernel-ovz.spec
file that I modified to recompile the kernel with the isofs.patch. The
isofs.patch file was placed directly in the SOURCES directory. Would someone
be able to look at what I did to see if I made a mistake or is there a
problem with the patch?

Thank you,

Romeo

Re: Access Cdrom, reboot and other questions

Romeo,

1. please always report the exact messages you face.
2. check that iso9660 is available both in VE and in the host
with the command:
# cat /proc/filesystems
most likely you didn't load the module isofs:
# modprobe isofs

Thanks,
Kirill

Out-of-memory question

I'm hitting a strange error, and I wanted to get the input of the list 
on it.  When I try to execute java on the VE, I get this error:

[iguana <at> charade ~]$ /usr/local/java/bin/java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

If I run java from the HN, no problems, it reports the version 
information as expected.

Any ideas?

Information to (hopefully) help figure out what's going on:

System:
512MB RAM, 700MHz Athlon Processor
RedHat FC 4 (latest updates applied)
kernel-2.6.18-ovz028test007.1

VE: CentOS 4.4

VZ package versions:
vzquota-3.0.9-1
vzctl-lib-3.0.13-1
vzctl-3.0.13-1

Output of "free" (with VE mounted and running):
                                 total         used         free         
shared    buffers     cached

Any fail- counters in /proc/user_beancounters?

vncserver won't start

I'm trying to run a vncserver from within openvz.
According to the wiki this should be easy:
http://wiki.openvz.org/X_inside_VE

My vncserver dies with a "could not open default font 'fixed'" error.

My base server is RedHat Enterprise 4, and my VEs are CentOS 4.

I've done much googling and I'm not getting anywhere.
Here is my vncserver log:

Xvnc version 4.0 - built Feb 21 2005 15:50:07

Two counters had failures.  First was the privvmpages counter, which I 
increased, and second was the numprocs which hit a limit at 65 after I 
increased the privvmpages counter.  Everything works as expected now.  
Thanks a lot for the suggestions and help.

xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2

Here's a clue, but I don't know how to fix it:
# fslsfonts -server unix/:7100 -ll -fn fixed
fslsfonts: pattern "fixed" unmatched

I've tried running
vncserver :1
vncserver -fp unix/:7100
vncserver -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

I've edited /usr/bin/vncserver and uncommented:
$cmd .= " -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/";
This did fix a couple of errors, but not the fatal one.

I've restarted xfs many times, and it is running:
# service xfs status
xfs (pid 23795) is running...

Any help?,  Thanks

Does NIS work with OpenVZ?

Does NIS work with OpenVZ?  
ypbind just hangs when I start it:

# ./init.d/ypbind start
Binding to the NIS domain:                                 [  OK  ]
Listening for an NIS domain server.....

In /var/log/messages I get this:
ypbind[24574]: broadcast: RPC: Timed out.

I have ypbind and yp-tools installed.  The portmap is running.  The
hostname has the necessary permissions on the server.  "domainname"
returns the correct server name.

I have the NISDOMAIN set in /etc/sysconfig/network

In /etc/yp.conf I have:
domain xxxxxx broadcast
This works on non-virtual machines.
I also tried setting a server name, but it still hangs.

Our network uses an unusual netmask:  255.255.248.0
Could that be causing a problem?

There's nothing on the wiki about NIS.

My virtual machines are CentOS 4.

Re: Does NIS work with OpenVZ?

Nevermind. I got NIS working.  I needed to specify the server 
name, and put that server in /etc/hosts.
