Hi,

I am currently running a Xen 3.0.2 server with a couple of DomUs (that are file-based, created via dd). Now, I was wondering - is it possible to make a copy/clone of an existing DomU to create a new DomU (on the same machine i.e. NOT live migration).

The only way I can think of doing this involves shutting down the DomU briefly, and some quick typing, which I'd really prefer to avoid.

Any suggestions?

You could run an rsync-based network duplication. It would be as complete, but it would speed the heck out of completing it with an rsync of a pair mounted file system images, rather than using dd.
