Once again I have been tweaking ubd_kern to support lots of disks since I need it for recovery
but I hit (even on a plain 2.6.15-bs1 kernel)
allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use "vmalloc=<size>" to increse size
Failed to vmalloc COW bitmap
ubd0: Can't open "COW0": errno -12

but I already had vmalloc=128M (which should be the default) and vmalloc=256M and mem=384M on the command line. I can't seem to locate where the equivlaent of arch/i386/kernel/setup.c has the vmalloc= option on arch/um though has anyone hit something like this before each of the bitmaps should only take about 60M of memory and at this point I have only tried to allocate 1 for a single 250G ubd device

This will present a larger problem when I get everything working and try to allocate all 10 drives worth of bitmap ~600M I suppose I may have to go back to the paged bitmap logic but it is still a mess... The multiple major numbers and C:H:S from mconsole do seem to work correctly though
