This seems to have worked very well. Thanks much. The problem I was having was indeed that HOTPLUG wasn't configured into the guest kernel. I'd forgotten about --showconfig, but it was configured, so finding out was simple. Thanks again! -Ian Blaisorblade wrote: On Friday 23 December 2005 2

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
