Another option when AXFS gets merged is to use UML's iomem as follows. First start a UML kernel with these options: ./linux iomem=axfs.image,iomem_region_name once that starts up you can mount an AXFS volume to that iomem "device" like this. mount -t axfs -o iomem=iomem_region_name none /mnt/axfs But I'm not sure that testcases fits so neatly into a LTP case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ltp-list mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltp-list
