Subject: vdu during start of guests

Hello list,

after enabling disklimits, I noticed that starting a guest will enforce
the usage of vdu - this will significantly slow down the start of the
vservers and will even prevent the start, if the guest is over limits.

I did not find a way to configure this behaviour. I would like to skip
the vdu, as this can be handled later (for example, when you try to
enforce such limits on existing customers :)

On some machines the vdu will take up to 90 minutes, which can be very
anoying, if it fails. 

I can see one (dirty) workaround:

1. remove /etc/vservers/<name>/dlimits
2. start vserver
3. renew /etc/vservers/<name>/dlimits
4. use vlimit to enable the limit

It would be easier to have a config-option to disable vdu at
vserverstart. Any hints?

Regards,
Andre
