I added it to the /vservers mount statement in fstab and it worked perfectly!

Guess it cannot hurt to enable it anyway for safety.

Thank you!

now i just hope vservers live up to my expectations.. I have been given the
task of finding a way to consolidate which means looking at
virtualizing/partitioning to cut the number of servers down. What I am hoping
for is enough performance to be able to reduce 39 servers to just 8 or 9
hosts.. we are a fairly busy isp so some of the servers are hit pretty hard..

the only other problem I fear I will run into is in one host there will hve to
be at least 4 nics since the servers are on various vlans and each subnet has
its assigned switch port. to complicate matters even more, several of the
vservers will have to support a few hundred ip addresses each (email and web
for domains with dedicated ip addresses). I only hope this can do it as i
have found nothing else suitable other than the ibm partitioned minis or
blades.....($$$).. I believe UML has entirely too much overhead for our
needs.
