Haven't tried. I value my laptop. :)

My host is running unbuntu 2.6.12, and my mount test requires a clean
environment with nothing else mounted when it first runs. (It basically
needs to run as PID 1. Among other things, it synthesizes variants of its
own fstab...)

I don't think it's a uml bug, but I cc'd the UML list because that's where I
can easily reproduce it.
