[uml-user] Running uml under valgrind

2007-01-23 Thread mohit tewari
Hi, Is it possible to run uml under valgrind? I've seen posts from Jeff Dike dated 2002 stating that it has been done, but when I run the current uml version (linux-2.6.19-rc5 & FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs) with valgrind 3.1.1, on a 2.4.22 host kernel, it crashes after a few statements into its bo

I use NFS for having the guests mount separate directories on the host, then I rsync to these from the UMLs. Works for me, and is easily cron:able from inside the UMLs. This was convenient since my host have a directory with shared resources for the UMLs anyway, so NFS was already set up. If yo

I normally create the guest instances on an EVMS object. I then take a snapshot of the device after I've "frozen" and "flushed" the UML. Once I have the snapshot created, I then reactivate the guest (let it continue running) and deal with mounting and backing up the instance from the snapshot. Ton

Between stop and go the filesystem is still mounted on the guest right? If so, you are screwing the filesystems by mounting them on the host: the mount command will run fixups on the (journaled?) filesystem. (You could try mounting read-only - but still, bad idea IMO) Antoine Jonas Meyer wrote:

I just discovered a bug in UML. Under a vanilla edgy eft Ubuntu install as the host (with the linux-generic package installed for the kernel), and using linux2.6.16.29-bs2-32bit (from Blaisorblade) for the guest kernel, using the uml_mconsole HANDLE stop command can freeze the guest permanently.
