I'm following the howto on the wiki. The /vservers partition is mounted
with "-o tag" as explained, but when I try to tag the guest's files I
get the following error:
# chxid -URx -c slacky /vservers/<vserver-name>/
/vservers/<vserver-name>/<file-name>: Invalid argument
... and so on
Of course, in case the linux-vserver team needs it, I would be glad to
provide the access to my server for a test with ext4.
Best regards
