Heyaz,

I am trying to migrate to the new configuration method of util-vserver
(0.30.196) and have come across the following problem:

* vlan support is either broken, or changed in a way I am unable to
understand (very probable as this is my first go at the new
configuration method); an example:
I create /etc/vservers/${SVRNAME}/interfaces/0/dev containing
'eth1.4000'.

When I start ${SVRNAME} using vserver ${SVRNAME} start; it gives me the
following output:
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #0 to IF -:eth1 4000:- error: Invalid
argument
Cannot find device "eth1.4000"
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
Cannot find device "eth1.4000"
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

On a side note (no pun intended); why moving from a single file
configuration to a configuration tree ? In my opinion this will make
things more complicated than needed:
A config file with comments containing examples say a thousand words and
give the user a head start with his first install. The configuration
tree (without examples) will cause for a steep learning curve; it takes
time to find your way around the tree.

If the idea is to put the configuration tree into a database I'm all for
it, but ATM I can't see how the move will simplify things for the
average vserver admin.

Regards,
Dennis
