PMSS2 Progress
We are nearing testing phase for some key new features this week.
We are now testing jail shell environment, meaning each user has their own private space, and could even compile custom programs for themselves. It's a complete separation from other users on the same node.
Secondly we are testing user I/O controlling, basicly a scheduler on a per user basis which ensures that every user gets their fair share of the I/O time on underlying storage.
and thirdly we are testing bandwidth monitoring measures on a per user basis, giving us ability later on to offer traffic limited accounts.
Testing for the remote API will proceed during next week, it should pose no problems and work but you never know.
We have also semicompleted continuous integration patch code for these features to be migrated to existing PMSS nodes. Lighttpd to Apache swapover is going to be delayed.
New configurable option during user setup will contain I/O weight, but traffic and rate limiting options will be bypassed for now.
