Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tools: start-vmm: output serial to VM directory
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 01:26:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251214002620.741841-1-hi@alyssa.is> (raw)
When we run the VMM as non-root, it shouldn't be able to create files
directly under /run, so this needs to go somewhere else.
Really this should probably be going through s6-log, but I think it
makes sense to revisit that after we have persistent storage figured
out, so that we can get lots out of RAM.
