(if there's a web page that covers this, a simple pointer to it will do just fine.) as a followup to thinking about UML and COW, how would i configure and run a UML session using multiple filesystems? say i took the time to create multiple filesystem images corresponding to the following filesystems (which shouldn't be hard, right?) root.img: / usr.img: /usr var.img /var and so on. as i read it, i could then start my UML session with: $ kernel ubda=root.img ubdc=usr.img ubdd=var.img ... but what would i do from there? would i just associate those devices with their respective mount points in UML's /etc/fstab, as in: /dev/ubdc /usr auto defaults 1 1 and so on? i was thinking about this with respect to COW since it would seem to make sense to share *some* filesystems across multiple UML sessions, but not all of them. and, if i use multiple filesystems, would i then have multiple COW files per sharable filesystem? or am i making this way too difficult? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
