I was hoping some members of the list could help me take this decision. I have questions/thoughts regarding vmware/bsd jails: - Vmware - Does it run 5.2.1 nicely ? - Does a Guest OS (FreeBSD) support multiple IPs? - Does vmware support Xeon CPUs? (not listen in their site) - Is a xual xeon 2.8ghz + 4GB ram enough to run, say, 40 virtual machines using vmware? - Vmware *really* needs a X session to be working? - Jails - Is there any patch working for multiple jail IPs under 5.2.1-p9 ? - What jail management tool do you use? I'm are of jailutils and jailadmin. I'm using jailutils now mainly because of jps, altough I could use jailadmin and create a quick jail ... ps link that would do the same. Plus, jailadmin uses a centralized configuration file which is easier to keep track of. - syslogd will die on the jail startup (using jstart), but if i run it manually it will stay running; same for cron. - Outside mounts are visible inside jails, any way to change this behaviour ?
