+Running in QEMU
+---------------
+
+Since sio2jail may not support newest kernel versions it may be handy to use a virtual
+machine for development:
+
+    # get debian 11 QEMU image
+    wget https://cdimage.debian.org/images/cloud/bullseye/latest/debian-11-nocloud-amd64.qcow2
+
+    # reserve more space for QEMU image
+    qemu-img resize debian-11-nocloud-amd64.qcow2 +10G
+
+    # start QEMU with KVM and sio2jail sources mounted with virtfs
+    qemu-system-x86_64 \
+        -enable-kvm \
+        -m 4G \
+        -nographic \

+        -virtfs local,path=$SIO2JAIL_SOURCES,security_model=mapped-xattr,mount_tag=sio2jail \
+        -cpu max

+    # login as root (no password)

+    # resize root partition
