Currently, uml does not support device handling from user space

just a user space process, so i'm not pessimistic about porting it
to the Hurd.
I'm clueless about system call interception and ptrace() in
GNU/Hurd. Most likely, they are not supported. However, can't we
implement something like that? I've never implemented system call
interception before :) but the theory is not that hard to
understand. Ptrace() seems more difficult.
All in all, uml is not a sure bet but seems very promising IMHO.
If it works, it could provide the Hurd with a very good tool for a
long term usage.
Curious, did you already have a look?
Yes. You can take a look here for my post in user-mode-linux-devel list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=37681841
As you can see, only general guidelines exist.
I tried compiling uml in Hurd and a lot of errors came up (oh what a
surprise). I "fixed" some but not all. When uml finally compiles, i will
investigate the important stuff.
I will continue to work on it but my rythm is a bit slow :).
Happy new year everyone,
Constantine
