Does it do a "clone" of a vserver? It is a 'cp -l' with a builtin 'vunify'. It uses the same exclude list mechanism like 'vunify' so that certain files will be copied instead of linked (e.g. cfg-files), or skipped entirely (e.g. ssh hostkeys, user data). Basic usage (requires 0.30.203+) is | # mkdir -p /etc/vservers//apps/vunify | (+ configure special exclude lists) | # /usr/lib/util-vserver/vunify But it is not mature enough to document it somewhere else ;) (e.g. '-n' does not really work, *requires* a supported pkg-management, ...)

I should mention that I am using util-vserver-0.30.201. > Can you try > > | # mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/vservers/seedbank/apps/vunify > | # /usr/local/lib/util-vserver/vunify -v -n MT This worked... I see that the mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/vservers//apps/vunify was not included in the instructions, but it is now. This solved the problem. Also, while following these instructions I was not sure if this line was correct: # ln -s /etc/vservers/ /etc/vservers//apps/vunify/refserver.00 I thought it was intending: # ln -s /etc/vservers/ /etc/vservers//apps/vunify/.00 but I see that is supposed to be literally "refserver.00".
