Subject: [uml-devel] skas, block devices
Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2003 02:29:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F908967.D6633EFB@vitoni.de> (raw)
I am fairly new to uml so please excuse me if this is not the place to
put my questions, or if these questions are already answered.
I searched a bit but didn't found what I was looking for.
1. skas:
What about including it into the UML-patch. This way there would be only
one patch to apply and the source could just be copied to have to trees
(one as host, one uml).
A nicer solution would be the possibility to create a uml out of the
source by using a different config file, but I don't know about
conflicts between static drivers and driver modules or uml / host linux.
Is there a roadmap for skas4?
2. block devices:
A nice feature would be the possibility to use disk dumps as a block
device. It would help to test automatic installations or distros which
rely on normal filesystems or device. Something like "linux
hda=hda-dump" would save some ubdX.
My favourite use case would the transfer of my harware linux
router/firewall into a uml environment. I could do it with udbS
