Hi,
i have been using UML (UserModeLinux) for quite some time. When i start
an UML-kernel, i can specify a driver for all the consoles. A "pts"
driver, a "null" driver etc.
I think, that this a thing, where Xen can learn from UML.
I would expect, that Xen allows domU to open as many consoles as it
wants (well, usually 6) and attach them to some host-device (well, pty,
pts or whatever - or even screen-sessions)
Actually, UML also distinguished between con0 and con1, con2, etc.
I think, the kernel writes all messages to con0, while the login-prompts
are opened on con1, con2, ... (con0, con1, etc. should correspond to
tty0, tty1, ...)
My proposed setup would be: log con0/tty0 to a logfile (there is no
login-prompt, so no need for input) and attach con1/tty1, con2/tty2, ...
to screen sessions or pty/pts-devices.
Long story short: Are there some plans, to "improve" xen's
console-handling within domU kernels?
