[uml-devel] /var/run vs hostfs

[Michael R. <mc...@sa...>]

  If you have / as a hostfs (via ubd0=somedir), then daemons which wish to
open Unix domain sockets in /var/run fail because one is not permitted to
make sockets via mknod(2) on the host file system...

  Workaround is to mount a small ext2fs on /var/run. 
  A better way would be to mount a ramdisk there, but I'm not sure how to.
