RE: [Xen-users] Fedora 5 Xen 3 Copy domu

I’m pretty sure you just want to copy that file, use cp /dev/VolGroup00/fc5image /dev/VolGrou00/web, that will make a copy of that domain, then copy the config file and point it at that image.

Subject: [Xen-users] Fedora 5 Xen 3 Copy domu

 

 

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!
