Herbert,

I'm sorry, perhaps I've gotten off track. This goes back to the df command not working in the vserver.

:df
df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems

you mentioned the following to me and I started chasing that rabbit.

I was thinking that I needed an entry in /etc/fstab on the vserver to get df to work.

My strace is in a previous posting.

thanks

well, what _would_ you like to add there?

I'm still not able to see what you try to accomplish ...

please either try to provide some more details, or
pay a visit at the irc channel #vserver @ irc.oftc.net

TIA,
Herbert
