Method of similar UNIX operation system running virtual operation system and device of similar UNIX operation system running virtual operation system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of a similar UNIX operation system running virtual operation system and a device of the similar UNIX operation system running virtual operation system. When a similar UNIX operation system in a LiveX form is run, a virtual machine program is started, and a virtual operation system is run; and swap spaces are obtained before the virtual operation system is run and mapped into swap partitions of a virtual disk can be visited by the virtual operation system. According to the method of the similar UNIX operation system running virtual operation system and the device of the similar UNIX operation system running virtual operation system, before the virtual operation system is run, the existing swap partitions are searched, or existing swap files are searched, or the swap files are directly established, the swap spaces are obtained through one of three modes, then the swap spaces are mapped into the swap partitions or the swap files of the virtual disk can be visited by the to-be-run virtual operation system, then the other virtual operation system can be smoothly started and run in the similar UNIX operation system, and convenience and flexibility of using the virtual operation system in running the similar UNIX operation system in the LiveX form are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of UNIX-like operating systems, in particular to a method and a device for running a virtual operating system in a LiveX-like UNIX-like operating system. Background technique [0002] An operating system in the form of LiveX, such as LiveCD, refers to an operating system that can be self-started from a CD without installation. Some Linux distributions are designed as "LiveCDs", that is, CDs that can be booted directly into a usable Linux system. When booted from the CD, a whole set of tools is available, some of which are general-purpose and some of which are highly specific. Since the CD is used as the carrier, the usual LiveCD has application software in addition to the basic operating system. The biggest advantage of the LiveCD is that no installation is required. In the LiveX world, Linux is mostly used as the operating system, and of course there are other operating systems, such as FreeBSD and Windo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Due to the user's usage habits or some software supporting a specific operating system, the user also needs to use other operating systems when using one operating system. For example, the user uses the Linux operating system in the form of LiveX. When using word software, The Windows operating system is required, which puts forward higher requirements for memory. One problem with UNIX-like systems in the form of LiveX is that there is no swap space for virtual memory. The problem of running other virtual operating systems in the UNIX system can make it easier for users to use other operating systems
