Comment: NFS caveat

...

The Disk and Tape directories will be used to store emulated logical devices, for example, disk containers. 

Please note: each

  • Each instance of Charon-PAR must be started in a separate directory because certain files (SSTORAGE.DAT, NVOLATILE.DAT, UA_SSTORAGE.DAT, and console.dat) will always be created in the current working directory of the emulator instance. Starting multiple emulator instances in the same directory will lead to errors due to file locking problems.
  • It is not recommended to place emulator storage devices (in particular vdisks) on NFS as this will have a significant impact on performance. However, if any of the storage (e.g., ISO files or vdisks) is on an NFS share, NFS locking must be enabled and all intermediate firewalls between client and server must allow the port used by the lockd and statd. Failure to do so will cause the emulator to hang at startup.
