[Qemu-devel] root userid remapping? ... no UID / GID variables set in NFS root?

[Christopher Friedt]

Hi everyone,

I've just gotten qemu emulating an arm system on my laptop, which I'm 
hoping to use for cross-compilation. I don't have a disk image to use 
(is there any way to create a disk image from a directory tree??), so 
I'm using NFS instead.

The strange thing is, is that although I specify no_root_squash in my 
/etc/exports (and I've been using NFS for quite a long time successfully 
with other machines), only when I'm using Qemu does the user id of the 
'init' process [0] get remapped to some completely absurd value of 
4294967295.

Has anyone heard of this happening before?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
