[uml-user] uml + unionfs (via hostfs)

[Mark H. <mc...@qu...>]

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible for hostfs to work with 
unionfs?  I am just doing a bit of experimenting at the 
moment - I am using unionfs on the host machine and I have 
the unionfs module loaded within UML, but whenever I try to 
do, say, an ls of the host via the hostfs mount my UML 
virtual machine crashes.  

Thought I'd just check to see if anyone else has had better 
luck than me before I dive into any kernel debugging (and 
drown).  Admittedly I'm not using the latest kernels - 
2.6.10 on the host and only 2.6.9 for UML, and also I don't 
understand well enough the technologies behind unionfs and 
hostfs to know if it is even possible.

Regards,
Mark
