John,
Thanks for the information.
What I am trying do is create a copy of a virtual machine that can be
restored. The virtual machine is a Windows XP instance.
I am now looking at trying to take an image (or copy) of the partition I
used. In the hvm ocnfig file, I use a reference like:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdb5,ioemu:hda,w' ]
In fdisk, sdb looks like:
[root@cso-gm-desk xen]# fdisk /dev/sdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30401.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
...
/dev/sdb5 5377 7926 20482843+ 83 Linux
But when I try to use some traditional partition tools, I get an error
about an unknown file type (not ext3fs, or ext2fs, or ntfs, etc).
I am looking for a solution. One thing I was thinking was changing the
id (83) to NTFS (7). Anyone think this would work?
Any other thoughts on how to do this task?
Thx
Gord

Gordon,
Save is not implemented for hvm guests yet. According to the roadmap it
should be done within a few months.
