Hello,
Just upgraded to the latest development util-vserver release.

However, when I try to vattribute, I am getting exactly the same
behaviour. sshd is again not accepting connections. When I try to
temporary fix the problem with --bcap -1, there is no update.

/usr/local/sbin/vserver-info

Versions:

Kernel: 2.6.14.4-vs2.1.0nevir

VS-API: 0x00020001

util-vserver: 0.30.210; Apr 30 2006, 20:31:56

Features:

CC: gcc, gcc (GCC) 4.0.3 (Debian 4.0.3-1)

CXX: g++, g++ (GCC) 4.0.3 (Debian 4.0.3-1)

CPPFLAGS: ''

CFLAGS: '-g -O2 -std=c99 -Wall -pedantic -W -funit-at-a-time'

CXXFLAGS: '-g -O2 -ansi -Wall -pedantic -W -fmessage-length=0
-funit-at-a-time'

build/host: i686-pc-linux-gnu/i686-pc-linux-gnu

Use dietlibc: yes

Build C++ programs: yes

Build C99 programs: yes

Available APIs: v13,net

ext2fs Source: e2fsprogs

syscall(2) invocation: alternative

vserver(2) syscall#: 273/glibc

Paths:

prefix: /usr/local

sysconf-Directory: /etc

cfg-Directory: /etc/vservers

initrd-Directory:
$(sysconfdir)/init.d

pkgstate-Directory: /var/run/vservers

vserver-Rootdir: /var/lib/vservers

Assumed 'SYSINFO' as no other
option given; try '--help' for more information.

Another point that i noticed is, that the df command is no longer
listing the /dev/hdv device. The output is something like:

df -ha

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

proc 0 0 0 - /proc

devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts

What could be causing this?

Regards,
-nik
