About a VPS

[aRsenic]

Hi,

We have a three core package on a VPS server... In fact I'm not the client
paying but I'm managing servers...
I was wondering, is it because of your OpenVZ kernel I cannot change
process priorities to FIFO?

I get that

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@racs ~]# chrt -f -p 98 22371
sched_setscheduler: Operation not permitted
failed to set pid 22371's policy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you tell me what's the problem?

EDIT: Also, a side question. DO you guys provide Gentoo install on VPS too? We currently have CentOS 5.8, is it possible to get Gentoo install without changing IP's... I would like to make the switch.

Cordially,
aRsenic

We do not use OpenVZ; we use Xen. You have full control over your OS and can do essentially whatever you'd like, including using chrt.

Do you have a kernel permissions system like SELinux running? If so, try turning that off. Also, take a look at "dmesg" and /var/log/messages to see if an error is popping out in either place.

Yes, you should be able to switch to Gentoo x86 via the "Server control" page, if you'd like. Your IP(s) on an unmanaged VDS would not change as a result of this operation.

Thanks edge for replying but...

Code: Select all

[root@racs ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-308.el5.028stab099.3

This kernel release is effectively an OpenVZ kernel... remeber, we are on a VPS, not a dedicated server... Do I miss something?
An empty /boot folder also... no bootloader apparently installed.
No output when typing dmesg either... no access to lsmod (no output either).

Finally, what cannot lie...

Code: Select all

[root@racs ~]# ls /proc/user_beancounters
/proc/user_beancounters

If you tell me you guys use Xen, please provide us Xen too...

[aRsenic]

Oh wait... we are not talking about a NFO box. We actually have a box with less quality servers on it from a cheaper provider... Oh damn, my bad man. Thanks for your support tho...

We absolutely do not use OpenVZ, in any form, here. It's pure Xen.
