yeah, but i forget to tell that i use kernel level configuration with
./linux ip=..
so i don't "need" (so i thougth1?) to make any ifconfig inside the uml.
The benefit is, i can copy one uml-fs for testing, start the backup uml with a
different ip on the backup-root-fs without changing the backup-root-fs or
startup-scripts inside the uml.
If someone is interested:
I will use uml for developement, staging and production system. So i can
develope something, if this is stable, i implement that in my staging uml.
When all works fine i only have to copy the staging fs to the live fs.
I can easily go back if something went wrong. I can make big changes to my
developement system for testing and if i break my system i can easily restore
a backup. I even can make big changes to my live system, if somethings brakes
i get back within seconds to my formerly safed system. If my developement
system goes to far away from my live system, i can copy my live system as
developement system and take this as my new developement system.
And all of this without the need of buying a lots of servers.
I also use uml for migrating old servers to uml for easiere server handling
(e.g. a Pentium 200 Box is only consuming a lots of power and space inside a
server rack).
