[Users] Problems with Gentoo template creation

[Ronald Tanner]

My experiments show that setting the route with

/sbin/route add default dev venet0

on the VPS is sufficient.

localhost / # route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination  Gateway      Genmask      Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
127.0.0.0    127.0.0.1    255.0.0.0    UG    0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0      U     0      0        0 venet0

But if you have the line

OSTEMPLATE=gentoo-something

in your config file (eg. /etc/vz/777.conf) the routes are added
automatically when you set up the ip address. However they look
different:

localhost / # route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination    Gateway       Genmask        Flags Metric Ref  Use Iface
191.255.255.0  0.0.0.0       255.255.255.0  U     0      0      0 venet0
127.0.0.0      127.0.0.1     255.0.0.0      UG    0      0      0 lo
0.0.0.0        191.255.255.1 0.0.0.0        UG    0      0      0 venet0

for me these routes are somehow strange.

And there is another step in the preparation of the os template which
needs some explanation. Why do I have to replace /etc/mtab with
a link to /proc/mounts?
