<center><u>Make the mini distribution you just created with a different

<p>
17.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now that you have successfully created a working mini
distribution from Example.yard, re-create it with a different
filesystem type: ext2, minix, reiserfs, romfs or cramfs.
<p>
18.&nbsp;&nbsp;Open up the Filesystem Box (Edit->'File System") and click on
the UML Exclusively check button, and enter a filesystem command. For this
example <code>genromfs</code> will be used to create a read-only romfs.
&nbsp;&nbsp;Normal users will want to keep the Preserve Permissions check
button off.&nbsp;&nbsp;Press the submit button when finished.
<p>
19.&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjust the Filesystem Size in the ARS larger than 8192k, you
could also make it smaller, but the point of this exercise is to introduce
users to how the 8192k barrier of genext2fs can be exceeded.
<p>
20.&nbsp;&nbsp;Normal users should make sure the staging behavior is user
defined, and press on the Create check button on the Yard Box.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Press Continue and observe what happens.&nbsp;&nbsp;Root users should have
made the original filesystem with genext2fs, if not, they need to go
through steps 12-16 again after entering <code>genext2fs -z -r0</code> in the
Filesystem Box.
<P>
21.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do step 16.&nbsp;&nbsp;You may notice complaints on boot-up
about ioctl.save, to remove these complaints you could create a replacement
ioctl.save, edit the template, re-create the filesystem, and test again.
<p>
22.&nbsp;&nbsp;So what about devices for normal users?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Genext2fs creates devices for normal users, however, when UML Exclusively
is used a normal user doesn't have the capability to copy over devices
from the host system.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, devfs should be used.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If more devices are required, devfsd can be used to set them up after the
root filesystem is booted.&nbsp;&nbsp;Did you get things to work?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Congratulations, you have created a root filesystem larger than 8192k without
needing to be root!&nbsp;&nbsp;
