Can some of the LXC components in the kernel be used in place of the relevant VServer components to make the patch smaller and easier to maintain? Or if the VServer component is "better" (I use the term loosely because what kernel maintainers deem "better" isn't necessarily what other people deem "better"), trying to push a patch to do that upstream? > 3.11 changed a number of things which affected Linux-VServer > and the changes in 3.12 and 3.13 didn't make porting the > patch easier, so once again, mainline was a moving target > and it took some time and thinking to get a working patch > done. I'm not sure about the general use case, but the impression I get from listening on the list is that most people tend to use LTS kernels because that is what the distro kernels tend to be based on. Would it perhaps be more reasonable to focus on maintaining the patch only for LTS kernels? They are still moving targets, but at least they would be fewer moving targets. Thank you for VServer. I still firmly believe that it is the "best" of the 3 available chroot virtualization solutions for Linux, especially due to it's hashify feature. Gordan
