through the host namespace while it is mapped as a
block device in a rump kernel.
In case hostpath does not exist, it will be created as a regular
file with mode 0644 (plus any restrictions placed by umask). In
case hostpath is a regular file and is not large enough to accommodate
the specified size, it will be extended to the specified
size.
-l library
Call dlopen() on library before initializing the rump kernel. In
case library provides a kernel module, it will appear as a
builtin module in the rump kernel. Any rump component present in
library will also be initialized.
The argument library can contain a full path or a filename, in
which case the standard dynamic library search path will be used.
Libraries are loaded in the order they are given. Dependencies
are not autoloaded, and the order must be specified correctly.
-m module
Load and link a kernel module after the rump kernel is initialized.
For this to work, the rump kernel must include the vfs
faction, since the module is loaded using kernel vfs code (see
EXAMPLES).
-r total_ram
Sets the limit of kernel memory allocatable by the server to
total_ram as opposed to the default which allows the server to
allocate as much memory as the host will give it. This parameter
is especially useful for VFS servers, since by default the vir-
