I have Xen 3 running on FC5. I created my domU with the
xenguest-install.py script and stored it on a logical volume called fc5image. I
now want to create other xen domains from this “image”. I have been
using dd without success.
 
I get the following error when I try to start the image
copy:
 
error: (9, ‘Bad File Descriptor’)
 
 
The format of the dd command I am using is as follows:
 
dd if=/dev/VolGroup00/fc5image of=/dev/VolGroup00/web
bs=512k
 
fc5image and web are both 5Gig lv’s.
 
Is there another way to create xen domu from an existing
domu?
 
thanks!
