Sure, if they are the same size or you know for certain what cylinders the data actually resides on, DDR will work fine. DDR can't tell the difference between real volumes and minidisks. > is there a better way? Since you're probably also going to want to make some other changes in the layout (ie, shared /usr, etc) in the process of optimizing for VM, I'd suggest building a new template system on minidisks and using that as your cloning source. Also see me other note about using directory profiles to help organize things a little easier. -- db
