Of course - everything on the system resides in the host kernel. > 3.Is it possible to create swap partition(disk partition) for UML? Sure. > 4.I am trying to mount a file from host kernel to guest kernel.....can any > one give me a way to do that? host% uml_mconsole <umid> config ubdb /path/to/host/file UML# mount /dev/ubdb /mnt > 5.What is the diffrence between skas0 and skas3? skas3 requires a patch to the host kernel, skas0 does not, and will run on a stock host. OTOH, some operations are faster on a skas3 host. Jeff -- Work email - jdike at linux dot intel dot com |
