Hi, I have set up a couple of vservers on my debian stable machine, both running ubuntu lucid. The first one, dolphin, has been running nicely for a while. I built a copy of it (using the rsync method to 'vserver build'), and changed the hostname to make another vserver, alien. Yesterday I managed to get alien to start up, and it was working fine with apache / php / mysql running on it and the network being routed on the host machine. Today there was a power interruption and now it won't start up - when I do 'vserver alien start', it boots up to a certain point with a few processes running, but most of the services don't start up. This is 'ps ax' on the vserver: root@whale:/# ps ax PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/init 3876 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh -e /proc/self/fd/9 3897 ? S 0:00 initctl emit local-filesystems 3915 ? Ss 0:00 dbus-daemon --system --fork 3973 ? R+ 0:00 login 4006 pts/2 Ss 0:00 /bin/bash -login 4019 pts/2 R+ 0:00 ps ax This is 'vserver alien status' on the host: whale:/etc/aide# vserver alien status Vserver 'alien' is running at context '40003' Number of processes: 4 Uptime: 00:14 The other thing I find strange is that when I log into alien using either 'vserver enter 'or ssh (which was working yesterday but not today), the hostname in the terminal is reported as 'whale'. whale:/etc/aide# vserver alien enter root@whale:/# hostname whale root@whale:/# cat /etc/hostname alien Can anyone help with this? Thanks, andy baxter
