I'm running a 2.6.9 UML kernel inside a 2.6.9-skas host. I'm using the
following to launch the UML:

    #!/bin/bash
    export TMPDIR=/mnt/ramdisk
    exec uml umid=test con0=null,fd:2 con1=fd:0,fd:1 \
        ubd0=test.cow
        eth0=daemon,,unix,/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl

Note that TMPDIR is a tmpfs partition. The problem is two-fold:

    1. Shutdowns never exit back to the shell, even when I remove "exec"
    so that the uml kernel is being launched as a child process.

    2. Killing the uml results in unlinked memory files on /mnt/ramdisk,
    and there doesn't seem to be any way to forcibly clear or remount
    the partition.

So, how can I cleanly shut down the uml, and (more importantly), how can
I remove the unlinked memory files that have been left lying around?
