Once you have installed the guest apply the [http://www.linux-vserver.org/Installation_on_Slackware_13#Patch_used patch] and if everything is ok start the server:

The script itsself can install the patch for you. Anyway this is how to apply the patch by yourself:
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
 
cd /vservers/vserver_name/etc/rc.d
 
cd /vservers/vserver_name/etc/rc.d

patch -p1 < /path/to/slack_vserver/slackware-13.37.patch

</pre>

Now you can start the newly created virtual server:
 +
<pre>
 
vserver <vserver_name> start
 
vserver <vserver_name> start
 
vserver <vserver_name> enter
 
vserver <vserver_name> enter

== Hints ==
 
−
My patch has been tested with Slackware 13.1, but I suppose that this solution will work also in future version with some small adjustment. In any case, if the patch doesn't work with your version of Slackware try to replace ''rc.0 rc.6 rc.K rc.M rc.inet2'' with these ([http://notes.sagredo.eu/sites/notes.sagredo.eu/files/linux-vserver/rc.d-patched.tar.gz download here]). In addition remember to
 
−
 
−
* leave ''/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc'' script as is. These is a very essential script which is started first and runs rc.M on startup or rc.6 on shutdown
 
−
* chmod -x ''rc.inet1'' the network is brought up configuring the guest by ''/etc/vservers''
 
−
* chmod -x all hardware related services like ''rc.acpid rc.alsa rc.pcmcia rc.wireless rc.gpm rc.bluetooth rc.hald''
 
−
* delete all mounts and other hardware related commands in ''rc.0 rc.6 rc.K rc.M rc.inet2''

Latest revision as of 20:12, 21 October 2011

What follows was tested on a Slackware 13.37 and 13.1 guest. I assume you have a Linux-Vserver host working. If not, have a look at this page.

Contents

[edit] Download the patch and the installer script 

tar xzf slack_vserver.tar.gz
cd slack_vserver 

ls
  • PKG_LIST is the package list to be installed in the guest
  • slackware_pkg/ is the folder were the packages ("*.tgz" or "*.txz") to be installed are stored. This folder will be automatically created by these scripts.
  • download_slack.sh is a script that you can use to download all the packages in the PKG_LIST list. If you use this scriptlet all the packages will be stored in the slackware_pkg sub-folder.
  • make_slack_vserver.sh is a shell script that you have to adjust. It installs the guest.
  • slackware-13.37.patch is the patch which modifies /etc/rc.d/rc.6 /etc/rc.d/rc.M and /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2. It must be applied after the creation of the guest. In the patch I switched off all the mounts and executables that are related to the hardware.
  • rc is the startup script for the virtual server. It will be automatically copied in /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc 
# more rc

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" == "3" ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.M
elif [ "$1" == "6" ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.6
else
  echo "Invalid level."
  exit 1
fi

[edit] Download the slack packages

First of all select a minimal set of packages to be installed on the virtual server. This list of 109 packages is based on the Minimal System reported at http://slackwiki.org/Minimal_System without all hardware, kernel and multimedia related packages. The install leads to a guest of about 448M of size.

I assume that the packages to be installed are stored in the slackware_pkg folder. If not, adjust its location editing the make_slack_vserver.sh script.

You can download my minimal set of packages running the shell script download_slack_pkg.sh 

#!/bin/bash
#
# v. 2011.01.07 
# Put here your favourite Slackware repository

SRC="ftp://ftp.slackware.no/slackware/slackware-13.37/slackware/"      # 32-bit
#SRC="ftp://ftp.slackware.no/slackware/slackware64-13.37/slackware64/"  # 64-bit

LIST="../PKG_LIST"

cd slackware_pkg

if [ -f $LIST ]; then
        while read line  
            do  
            wget "$SRC$line*.t?z"
        done < $LIST
else
  echo "Can't find $LIST file."
  exit 1
fi

rm index.html*

Adjust the package PKG_LIST, enter your favorite ftp server and run from the command line 

./download_slack_pkg.sh

[edit] Make the guest

Now let's create the guest and install the packages. As you know you must choose at least a "name", a "context" and an ip. In addition you have to modify most of the rc.* startup scripts removing all the hardware related daemons, and finally replace the /dev dir.

This is done running the script make_slack_vserver.sh: 

#!/bin/bash
#
# v. 2011.04.28
# Author: Roberto Puzzanghera
#
# This script installs a Slackware guest into a linux-vserver host (http://linux-vserver.org)

[edit] Apply the patch and start the guest

The script itsself can install the patch for you. Anyway this is how to apply the patch by yourself: 

cd /vservers/vserver_name/etc/rc.d
patch -p1 < /path/to/slack_vserver/slackware-13.37.patch

Now you can start the newly created virtual server: 

vserver <vserver_name> start
vserver <vserver_name> enter

[edit] Post-installation tasks

Add the following entries to "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" on the host: 

/etc/init.d/util-vserver start
/etc/init.d/vprocunhide start

Search for the following entry in the file "/etc/rc.d/rc.S": 

# Mount Control Groups filesystem interface:
if grep -wq cgroup /proc/filesystems ; then
  if [ -d /sys/fs/cgroup ]; then
    mount -t cgroup cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup
  else
    mkdir -p /dev/cgroup
    mount -t cgroup cgroup /dev/cgroup
  fi
fi

and change this to: 

# Mount Control Groups filesystem interface:
#if grep -wq cgroup /proc/filesystems ; then
#  if [ -d /sys/fs/cgroup ]; then
#    mount -t cgroup cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup
#  else
#    mkdir -p /dev/cgroup
#    mount -t cgroup cgroup /dev/cgroup
#  fi
#fi

You will have to reboot your host afterwards.
