I.e. I want to be able to easily update my /usr/local/bin directories with new versions of the program, compiled from outside of the UML. In particular, when the hostfs is on-top of an NFS mount, the directory entries get cached overly long. Also, I've noticed that I can't core dump to hostfs when the underlying disk is NFS. (One reason I'm using NFS is because mounting it on multiple boxes permits me to run our regression testing on multiple machines in parallel. When running the regression tests, most of the system is never touched, as tmpfs provides all the writable space) - -- ] "Elmo went to the wrong fundraiser" - The Simpson | firewalls [ ] Michael Richardson, Xelerance Corporation, Ottawa, ON |net architect[ ] mcr@xelerance.com http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/mcr/ |device driver[ ] panic("Just another Debian GNU/Linux using, kernel hacking, security guy"); [ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Finger me for keys iQCVAwUBQWiy04qHRg3pndX9AQFUNQP9Gr50b9SZkJ7CdiWGLw6bufpBHUntZuMK I6mBYkLEEd6WvUzbPP2rFlIwQu3U0acSggvGP73DAD38o8woeDhVxY6iDCXSbon3 Cw7MOhxtl3XAbyFd7H/bG9N/wPmHSI5tpfR1vPuFura6u4F0MgsramKGhudYPF1a aGftXBc1qz0= =u/5p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
