What storage method are you using for the domU?

I'm using LVM for most domUs...

Using LVM i create a new volume mount the domU i want to copy and the new volume, format the new volume and cp -dpR the files over, then edit the network/hostname config. Don't forget swap space too.

It maybe you can just snapshot the domU and edit the network but i don't know if thats wise.

Geoff.
I use 'rsync -avH' instead of 'cp -a', since it handles being re-run better and handles exclusions better, too.
