    Hi Brett

    Excellent work, you guys so rock and lovely to see some of the improvement is from feedback.

    I’ll have a better look tommorow as it’s late.

    Many thanks

    Love it guys, I think I’m going to upgrade to the Beta just to try the new stuff :smiley:

    Great fixes/enhancements. Just came across this. I remember answering Brett’s WHT post about verifying second-level quotas actually. :slight_smile:

    A bit about the Virtuozzo/OpenVZ containers and clustering – I’ve been testing this on my own time, recently actually, and I can get NFSv3 up an running on an OpenVZ container running SL 6.4 and RHEL (CentOS) 6.5.

    Kernel-space NFS server is supported by latest RHEL5 and RHEL6 based kernels and since vzctl-3.0.24 – http://openvz.org/NFS_server_inside_container

    It’s a little disheartening to read that the Clustering feature is now blocked for containers. I’d (quite literally last night) just completed another install of *worx and was hoping to pick up a license for it next week.
    Would clustering still be impossible on the container level even if I were able to get the NFS mounts set correctly inside of the CT?

    Thanks,

    Hi John

    You may want to ask for a test licence first to try, and if I have read your post correctly, I don’t think it is IW who blocked clustering on virtuoso, but if your setup works, that would be lovely.

    I hope you don’t mind my thoughts

    Many thanks

    John

    Clustering should be possibly. Both DirectAdmin, and cPanel offer clustering on vps licenses. With testing, maybe InterWorks could add support?

    I think there might be a misunderstanding here. Clustering still works on VPS – you just need an Unlimited license for it. The issue with OpenVZ/Virtuozzo is there are certain limitations in the environment that prevent clustering from working.

    When you’re talking about clustering with DA and cPanel, though, what do you mean? I think the clustering you’re talking about there is DNS clustering, which is very different and much more limited than InterWorx clustering. Their DNS clustering basically lets you setup DSN publishers and listeners, which is something that any InterWorx server can do with or without clustering enabled.
