Re: [uml-user] An Ubuntu package for UML?

Also, I've worked up a nice Ubuntu init.d script for managing uml instances. It does start, nice restart, halt, and hot backup on as many instances as you want. I posted it to the list a while back, but I may have added some features since then. LMK if you'd like to see it. Another note on Ubu

[uml-user] UMLd readme?

Hi all, does anyone have a readme/howto for UMLd? The 0.3.2 I got from David Coulson's site doesn't come with one, and I can't find one anywhere else. It doesn't look too complicated, but there are a few things I'd rather not be guessing about. Thanks -Ian -

Re: [uml-user] create COW from existing FS

n? However, even if I were to get that working, I'm not quite sure how to "compare block by block (512-byte blocks) the two files. replace the ubd1 block with ubd2 one when they don't match." Something using cmp and dd? Thanks for the advice. -Ian Blaisorblade wrote: On

[uml-user] create COW from existing FS

Hi all, I just read about COW, and wish I'd known about them when I first setup my servers. Now I have several UML rootfs based off of a single original rootfs, which I mirrored just by copying. Is there any way I can retroactively create a COW from the modified rootfs and the original rootfs

Re: [uml-user] Debian packages and user-mode Linux

I figured this out for Ubuntu, but it will work for Debian too. Just replace "breezy" with the name of your branch. $ cd ~ $ dd if=/dev/zero of=breezy.rootfs bs=1M seek=5000 count=0 $ chgrp uml breezy.rootfs $ chmod 660 breezy.rootfs $ mkfs.ext3 breezy.rootfs $ mkdir tmp # mount -o loop breezy.r

Sorry, thought that would ensure compatibility, and hadn't seen instructions to do otherwise. With defconfig, it's much snappier. Excellent. Thanks again, Ian Jeff Dike wrote: On Fri, Nov 04, 2005 at 11:42:20AM -0500, Ian Smith-Heisters wrote: Server listening on 10.1.200.1

Thanks, I've only ever compiled the kernel on debian-based systems. make-kpkg abstracts these details away, and it totally slipped my mind. Things are going spiffily now. Thanks again, Ian Blaisorblade wrote: On Friday 04 November 2005 18:01, Ian Smith-Heisters wrote: Okay, I solved m
