Hi libvir-list (cc: vserver list),
I am another Linux-vServer user who would like to see support in libvirt.
From a very brief look back through the archives it appears that there may
have been some architectural concerns re: libvirt's assumptions about what
kind of network stack a virtualisation platform provides, in that
Linux-vServer doesn't use a traditional approach to networking and thus may
break previously valid assumptions.
I found 2007 posts and a post last year (2009).
I remeber hearing that the patches have been submitted multiple times
http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/archives/200807/0003.html
Would it be possible for someone with a good overall understanding
of
previous integration attempts and the results thereof to summarise what
issues were encountered and how difficult it would be to overcome these, so
that users can understand what's going on.
The issue: linux-vserver is not sexy and hip like some of those other
technologies.
Maybe if vserver was a huge hulking patch, had really slow
emulation, and or then more or less got killed by being aquired by a large
non-open source friendly company...
