Judson, It seems you are starting with the SLES 10 Virtualization Cookbook on linuxvm.org. We did update that for SLES 10 SP2, in the form of a redbook. (see http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247493.html). That book changed the methodology of making the golden image a mount point of the controller (cloner) and had it in a separate virtual machine. There are tradeoffs to both approaches, but one plus to the new approach is that you never have to chroot into the golden image. Just something to think about.
> Any thoughts? Chroot'ing - a colleague pointed out to me that the more file systems you have mounted over the target environment, the better the chances of things behaving as you might expect in the chroot'ed environment. So, if the target environment that you plan to chroot into is /mnt/tgt/, you can mount the /dev/, /sys/ and /proc/ file systems as such: # mount --bind /dev /mnt/tgt/dev # mount -t proc none /mnt/tgt/proc # mount --bind /sys /mnt/tgt/sys So you might try that first. Hope it helps.
