Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] DL 1.2.9 strange effects - Filesystem, postfix, vmware?

[Kari M. <ka...@tr...>]

We (actually our customer) have been running 1.2.6 as a firewall in ESX =
2.5.2 (2 different update levels) since it came out.  It is rock solid.  1 =
CPU, 128 MB RAM, 4 NICs.  Best uptime 3+ months.  The only time DL is =
booted, is when the whole system is upgraded.

1.2.6 (i686 server version) is the stock one, no vmware tools.

I presume you guys are talking about the free VMware Server?  I think it =
might be a good thing to mention.

One interesting side note: DL virtual machine is still not working in =
proxy-arped DMZ. I've been forced to use Gentoo and Debian instead. I've =
boiled down the problem to the pcnet32.o in DL - it doesn't like the =
virtual switch or something. If/when we can change to vmxnet or even the =
vlance driver in VMware Tools, I think the problem will vanish.

By the way, on VMware ESX, when I launch 10 DL VMs of same version, it =
first takes up quite a lot of memory. After a while ESX finds identical 4K =
block in memory and collapses each block in to one.  It save *a lot* memory =
:-)
