I have been using UML for while with good results, but this lastest issue has got me stumped. I put together a UML jail with a perl wrapper. It starts running as root and calls compartment to do the chroot, change user, and run the UML. It runs just fine from the command line, but it does not run from a crontab or if I connect it to a "button" or rc.local. I checked the environment but have been careful not to use anything from the enviroment. The UML is basically fedore 9 (I think). the UML kernel is 2.6.26, gcc 4.3.0 20080428 redhat 4.3.0-8. running in SKAS0. The host is 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc8 I fc10 also exhibits the same startup issues.
The UML bootup messages stops at VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. The next message "Welcome to Fedora" never appears. The UML process seems to hang using 98% cpu time (from top). Some memory parameters are: virt 256, res 9532, SHR 9332, mem .3%. A normal run (from the command line) is virt 256M, resm 43, shr 43, mem 1.2%. The script is suid and I do change to the root user (real & eff) inside of the perl script. I also tried running it from rc.local, but no luck. Any ideas? thanks, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
