I'm running a 2.6.9 UML kernel inside a 2.6.9-skas host. I'm using the following to launch the UML: #!/bin/bash export TMPDIR=/mnt/ramdisk exec uml umid=test con0=null,fd:2 con1=fd:0,fd:1 \ ubd0=test.cow eth0=daemon,,unix,/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl Note that TMPDIR is a tmpfs partition. The problem is two-fold: 1. Shutdowns never exit back to the shell, even when I remove "exec" so that the uml kernel is being launched as a child process. 2. Killing the uml results in unlinked memory files on /mnt/ramdisk, and there doesn't seem to be any way to forcibly clear or remount the partition. So, how can I cleanly shut down the uml, and (more importantly), how can I remove the unlinked memory files that have been left lying around? -- Find my Techno-Geek Journal at http://www.codegnome.org/geeklog/ |

Don't run 2.6.9 as a host, as it exhibits this problem. Upgrade to 2.6.10 and try again. -Chris |

And to a 2.6.9-bs guest kernel (vanilla 2.6.9 as guest would still exhibit part of the problem). -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade |
