Re: [Xen-users] create a guest with tar
Yes, it's a good way to build a basic image.
Use the --one-file-system flag or "-l" with GNU tar to avoid descending other filesystems such as /proc, /sys, /dev/usb, etc., etc. Also it's safest to do on a static filesystem: Building a Xen image copy, then mounting *THAT* to build the tarball is safest.

Is it possible to tar an existing installation running on it's own box so that I can create a DomU from the tarball? I see that one of the
options in xen-tools is to create from a tarball, but I'm having difficulty finding out what options should be used, directories to be excluded (/dev, /proc, /sys, any others?), and other gotchas.
