Looked at the mailing list, found the following tips: 1. Set TMP/TEMP/TMPDIR to a tmpfs mounted place. Did that. I see no sign that UML is using it. 2. Don't use synchronous UBD on anything older than 2.6.9 2.6.13.2 That's all I can remember. Are there others? Still a fair bit sl

[uml-user] chown on hostfs?

2005-09-29 Thread Robin Lee Powell
If hosts is *not* being used as the root fs, is it possible to make chown work in it? If so, does it require running the UML as root? Example: mooix:~# chown 31013 /var/lib/mooix/system/sessionmanager/sessions/item1/ chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mooix/system/sessionmanager/sessions/it

I notice that in 2.6.9 and up, UML is built-in, and that said built-in UML has SKAS support options. Does this mean that these kernels also have the SKAS patch built-in if compiled without ARCH=um? -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Lear

I have UML set up far enough that it will allow me to log in in single user mode, and networking is set up (in as much as I can ping the host and the host can ping the guest). inetd runs fine. However, as soon as I run sshd by any means, the guest hangs. I have no idea what to do about this. He
