vkernel manager

[Aggelos Economopoulos <aoiko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Working with vkernels involves a lot of vnconfig, mount, installworld etc
commands and there's always the posibility that you'll try to write to
a filesystem that is in use by a running vkernel. Some months ago I was
using a set of scripts to help with managing vkernel instances and
diskimages. I took some time to convert them to a single script and expand
them a bit (probably adding some bugs in the process). I suppose other
people have their own scripts; if so, please share them.

You use the script like this:

vkernmgr init -m /mnt/vkern -s 1024 -w /usr/src -k /path/to/vkernel test
[creates and formats an 1G disk image, installs base system from /usr/src]

vkernmgr run test [extra vkernel flags, if any]
[ensures no vn device is configured for access to the diskimage, runs
vkernel]

vkernmgr iw test
[ensures no vkernel is using the diskimage, installs world from /usr/src]

vkernmgr {start,stop}vn test
vkernmgr {,u}mount test
vkernmgr halt test
vkernmgr kill test
[These do the obvious; stopvn may need to run umount, mount may need to run
startvn]

Hopefully this will be useful to someone.
