[Lguest] Aufs as blockdevice?

[Earlence Fernandes]

Maybe my message was confusing.
I meant that If I were to use nfsroot, it would mean I need a network.

So the choice left is to use 9p.

So I've been able to understand this:

1. On the host, a 9p server runs.
2. the lguest daemon communicates with the 9p server forwarding packets
from inside the guest
to the host outside.
