Personally, I would tar the image, copy the tar file and untar it on the destination machine. tar has proper handling of sparse files (see the commandline options for the options you need to specify for sparse file handling), and should unpack the domU file to the proper size you're seeing on your old dom0. --- Heiko. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
