Re: [uml-user] unknown filesystem type 'hostfs'

I'm using precompiled kernels linked to from user-mode-linux.sf.net, but I don't know what they have in them. I found a compilation page on the old uml web site. Is this the one you mean: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/compile.html I kind of assumed that stuff on the old website is o

You either need to compile the support into the kernel (ie. not as a module), or copy the module into the guest... which may present a chicken-and-egg problem, so the first option is probably most desirable. On 3/01/2008, at 1:54 PM, Martin Paraskevov wrote: > I was trying to mount a host dir

Thanks Jeff, I was using the binary from http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/. The homepage doesn't mention any repository. To get the latest UML, should one check out the latest linux kernel? And these two patches I assume are patches to the main linux kernel as well, right? - Martin On Jan
