Put your business client on his own box so he is not
affected by outages around him.
All ways protect the money maker.
Virtual server is not the solution for you in this case.

Subject: Re: Virtual Servers

I've so far gotten 2 responses that say to use jail, so I'm betting that
is the way to go, but let me explain a little further. By client I mean
one of my clients. So, what I'm looking for is a way to 'set off' an
area on the server so that it thinks there is only 128MB of RAM when
there's really 1GB and only 800MB of drive space when there's 30GB and
that it can only use 20% of the processor time. Those are just examples.
But this in little 'virtual' server, there would be an instance of
Apache, sendmail, MySQL, etc. that would only server that area. I guess
it would be one user, "virtualUser1" or something, that would be the
owner of all processes in that area. That way if my main apache server
goes down, this client (my business client) is not affected. I don't
want to lock resources so they can't be used by other parts of the
machine, but I do want to limit what the client (mine) has access to, in
terms of resources, and keep their processes completely seperate from
the rest of the machine. I think a combination of user limits and jail
will do this. Is this correct? Thanks,

Joe

work those locked resources can't be used at all? Or do you mean you don't
want the client to use any more than x amount of cpu and y amount of RAM? If
you mean the former I don't think it's doable, but if it's the latter: man
login.conf
