Right, I compiled and installed util-vserver 0.30.213, and ran testme.sh
and testfs.sh as follows:

testme.sh -v -d- L
testfs.sh -v -x -y -z -F ext3 -D /dev/loop/0 -M /mnt

Both scripts returned successes on every tests.

That is precisely why I asked!

I created a test vserver and could start, enter and stop it without
problem. I did not put it to serious use though. I will let you and the
list know once I get that far.

Hi,

I have successfully compiled a debian linux-2.6.21 kernel with vserver
2.2.0 and util-vserver 0.30.212 for the arm-based NSLU2. Both packages
install fine and running the testme.sh script returns only successes.

you might want to get the latest util-vserver version
(0.30.213 and soon 0.30.214) and test with that too
(maybe also including extended tests with testme.sh
and testfs.sh), but it basically looks fine ...

Right, I compiled and installed util-vserver 0.30.213, and ran testme.sh and testfs.sh as follows:

testme.sh -v -d- L
testfs.sh -v -x -y -z -F ext3 -D /dev/loop/0 -M /mnt

Both scripts returned successes on every tests.
I however saw in the compilation logs the following warning: "syscall
arch arm not tested yet".

yep, once we can confirm that it works as expected,
we can remove that (and you can help to do so :)
That is precisely why I asked!

Does someone know which tests should be run to ensure no problems are
caused by syscall and vserver works properly on arm-based computers?

see above, and of course, a successful guest startup
and shutdown is a very good test too :)
