Yes, it would. Definitely. > Give kdb a shot instead. KDB requires two machines, serial wire between them... Or a full hardware emulator, of course. On the other hand user-mode-linux simply runs as normal process, it's easy to run any number of them you need, can read host filesystem so you can just have a config file and read it from the virtual machine, has copy-on-write for it's root partitions, so running many instances still does not need as much disk etc. It can also write the log to a host file, which otherwise means more setup of the serial connection. I have worked with UML quite extensively a few years back and the debugging worked well -- you have to use the SKAS mode though -- the TT works poorly. > And what exactly is it that you want to do? > What file system?
