Hi Herbert

Here is the output of /proc/virtual/2/status as requested.... Both
context 2 and 3 have the same setting.

-bash-2.05b# cat /proc/virtual/2/status
UseCnt: 7
Tasks: 2
Flags: 0000000202020210
BCaps: 00000000354c24ff
CCaps: 0000000000000101
Ticks: 0

Thanks.

you want to add sched_hard here if you want hard scheduling, the prio
scheduler will only adjust priorities according to the token buckets ...

I'd also suggest to use a more recent kernel (and probably Linux-VServer
patch) than this one as the scheduler was enhanced quite a lot in 2.2.x

looks like none of the token buckets is active here, what does the
/proc/virtual/2/status show?
