[User-mode-linux-devel] How many fhd's?

[William S. <wst...@po...>]

Good afternoon, Jeff,
	How many fhd's are supported?  It looks like MAX_DEV is set to 8
in the uml patch.
	Do they support partition tables so one might actually mount an
entire physical hard drive via fhd:

./linux fhd1=/dev/hdc

	where /dev/hdc is a partitioned ide drive?
	BTW - what do you think of the term Virtual Block Device as
opposed to Fake Hard Disk.  The former makes me think that I
could map vbda=/dev/hdc vbdb=/dev/ndb1 /vbdc=/dev/sr0 /vbdd=/dev/fd1 -
anything that is a block device, whereas fhd sounds like it can only be a
hard disk.
	Just thoughts...
	Cheers,
	- Bill
