I have wrote one article on "how build it > on 2.6 and create a root_fs", but it will not help you, iit is in > french. After some more research, I figured that although the project home page - http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ mentions that kernels after the 2.6.9 support UML, the vanilla 2.6.10 did not have it until I had patched it with the right patch from - http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/ Now that I have compiled that, is my doubt- How do I get a ext3 root_fs running? I am asking this because the suggested root_fs builder http://umlbuilder.sourceforge.net/ does not list a new distro like FC3 that I am using and it doesn't look like having support for ext3. And the pristine root_fs they have is for RH7.2 > > Can anyone suggest an better alternative to using UML for testing my > > changes to ext3 on 2.6? > > UML is a good start.. You could test your changes on root_fs file :) > How? Supposing I have ext3 root_fs running, I copy my modified ext3 to the ../fs. directory in UML and compile another kernel in UML? I just checked out QEMU and from the first look it seemed like vserver or Xen. Thanks! HC -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
