Hello, Is there any possibility to implement a copy-on-write facility for UML filesystems, or for the underlying files? My problem is that the filesystem is quite big (300 megs) and I need to copy it for every UML instance (so to avoid them messing with each other). This is quite slow... -- Petru Paler, mailto:pp...@pp... http://www.ppetru.net - ICQ: 41817235 |

If you organise your filesystems a little better, you can mount -ro /usr from a separate filesystem and share it. You need per-guest /etc and /var; /home could be either per-guest or shared via NFS. -- Cheers JS |
