Whats the latest and greatest way to save space when building jail systems? Quite awhile ago, I tried using a "base" and a sort of union filesystem, but it crashed (plus, I wondered about filesystem performance with 2 layers) And about QEMU... I'm using freebsd in qemu here (running linux), but thinking about switching back to freebsd. Gentoo decided to bork my X11.. so I'm stuck with the same X11/ATI problems I had when I went with freebsd the first time.. I've since learned to "get around" them by.. get this.. Running X11 in a VNC environment, then connecting to vnc from within linux to bypass the accelleration and yay! audacity works! Kind of curious about freebsd hosting qemu, as opposed to freebsd running IN qemu. I have to run other OS's sometimes, but I believe I might put a "linux environment" in a jail. Ever tried to give a (real) usb devices to an emulated OS to get the emulator OS to handle the drivers? (I have a tricked out 24-bit sound device that doesn't play well with unix-ish systems) Jamie -- http://www.geniegate.com Custom web programming Perl * Java * UNIX User Management Solutions
