I used UML successfully in the past and recently I've tried to revive my UML installation. Unfortunately, I've run into a range of problems (updates required for newer host kernels, non-working hostfs, etc).
I am now at a stage where I have linux-2.4.27 patched with uml-2.4.27-bs2-pre7.patch and a host 2.6.10 patched with skas3-v8-rc5. The issue I have is that hostfs doesn't work they way I want it to. What I get is all hostfs files owned by root:root. The semantics I'd like to see are: -- uid:gid mapping of 1:1 between the host and uml, -- normal permission checks done on the host for requests done by uml. So, I'd like to have my home directory mounted from the host in the uml via hostfs and be able to access it running my own uml. I shouldn't be able to access any other user's files. Reasonable, I guess? How do I achieve that? Any help appreciated. --J. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
