Ok, no problem.

No problem.

How? I can only attach devices (=whole disks) to the VM or mount the
FS via NFS. I can't attach it as a device because it's not a device,
rather than a directory with the root file systems of several hosts
directly on the server. So that doesn't work.

This leaves me with an NFS mount in the VM. But NFS mounts are not
supported by usrmerge, that's the whole issue I'm facing here.

So this VM-on-the-server idea doesn't work in my case or am I
missing something here?

Another question: if usrmerge complains that the file is present in
/lib as well as /usr/lib, what's the correct thing to do if

i)  the files are identical
ii) the files are different ?

Marco
