This is the normal situation, but there are some rare exception (i.e. when you boot from hostfs as rootfs, instead of using one UBD). So, please describe exactly your setup (UML command line and boot messages, mount command, and so on). Are you using hostfs as your rootfs? From what you say it seems not, but the behaviour you see has been explicitly coded for that case. > So, I'd like to have my home directory mounted from the host in the uml > via hostfs and be able to access it running my own uml.
