If you want to test clustering (or "UML SMP over several seperate hosts" -JDike) with UML, why not just create a UML kernel with the clustering support (ie, MOSIX) in that UML kernel?
Really, I'm just asking what the benifit is to use UML for clustering as oposed to MOSIX. I can think of one, testing NUMA without special hardware... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
