2007-09-26lguest example launcher truncates block device file to 0 length on problemsChris Malley
The function should also use ftruncate64() rather than ftruncate() to prevent files over 4GB (not uncommon for a root filesystem) being zeroed.

2007-07-26lguest: documentation I: PreparationRusty Russell
The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO. Noone ever read it. So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

2007-07-24link lguest example launcher non-staticRusty Russell
S.Caglar Onur points out that many distributions don't ship a static zlib. Unfortunately the launcher currently maps virtual device memory where shared libraries want to go. The solution is to pre-scan the args to figure out how much memory we have, then allocate devices above that, rather than down from the top possible address. This also turns out to be simpler.

2007-07-19lguest: the documentation, example launcherRusty Russell
A brief document describing how to use lguest. Because lguest doesn't have an ABI we also include an example launcher in the Documentation directory.
