The directory is mounted read-only. After that, i did "emerge -upD world" which must have accessed many many files. emerge crashed with the exception "too many open files" and indeed, the processes inside the UML cannot open any file anymore. If i do an "lsof" on the host, i see that the kernel-process has still opened many many files from /usr/portage - too many files ;-) So this should be bug in hostfs, so that hostfs doesn't close files on the host if they are closed inside the UML. Is there a fix for that already?
