[luau] INFO: Heavy duty storage needs

[MonMotha]

I've used UML before to isolate services.  Ever tried breaking out of a 
chroot jail?  This is even better.  Ever tried breaking a system where 
the only thing available is a readonly root filesystem with a single 
daemon and a few required utils?  Gotta love UML :)
