And here is a typical command line I use to start off a UML I
use for compiling packages:
my_uml_run is an alias for:
rm -f cow_fs; TMPDIR=/scratch/sandbox/tmp screen -L -d -m -S \
building_uml /usr/bin/linux umid=build mem=256M con0=fd:0,fd:1 \
ssl=pts con=pts devfs=nomount \
eth0=daemon,,unix,/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl \
hostfs=/scratch/sandbox/staging,append selinux=1 audit=1 \
ubdb=swap ubda=cow_fs,root_fs
It has several features: I use screen to background the actual
linux task, so I can run it out of cron, if I wished (and actually do,
on some machines, to run a virtualized service on hardware that does
not support kvm).
It creates /dev/ptyXX consoles that can be connected to via
screen, instead of popping up xterms.
I have turned on networking in /etc/network/interfaces using
tun/tap. I have created a swap file and mount it using ubdb, so the
machine has some extra memory.
I also mount a file system from the host in an append only mode.
HTH. HAND.
