Hi, first of all: thanks to Blaisorblade for the answer to my (stupid) devfs/device question some days ago. You're great!
I'm experimenting more with UML and I'm quite lucky about it, I just came across severeal questions I'm really stuck with: First of all, I'ld like to improve swap performance or at least I would like to attach the swap space externally. The block file in the mounted ubd0 works well, but I always get e2fscks when trying to mount /dev/ubd1 as a swap partition. Does anyone have a description of a working configuration in this case? What I want is a kind of dd if=/dev/zero of=swap_fs bs=1k count=300k mkswap swap_fs ./linux ubd0=root_fs ubd1=swap_fs mem=35M con=pty con0=fd:0,fd:1 ... but that won't really work, as said before. The fstab entry as a swap device is set and I don't know any further. Second would be, how to mount a uml file system on a partition instead of a block device. Is it just using ubd0=/dev/hdc ? That can't be so simple, can it? Third is one thing I came across reading the many entries in this list. Blaisorblade, you once wrote: > Mainly, Uml is very slow with HIGHMEM, and doesn't need it a lot, > especially in SKAS mode... I'm not using it, yet - but I wish to use a machine with a lot of ram if I succeed with UML. So: Could you, or someone else, give a short overview of Do's and Dont's regarding Performance with UML? Like Highmem Host: Don't - slow memory performance Highmem Client: Do - don't care Something like this? I know this will cause a few minutes to write down - take my thankfulness for granted - but I think this will make life much easier for lots of newbies into UML.
