 Strange... you should get 'unification for reference vserver not
 configured'...

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/refserver/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/refserver
/etc/vservers/vserver-id/apps/vunify/refserver.00

I thought it was intending:

# ln -s /etc/vservers/refserver
/etc/vservers/vserver-id/apps/vunify/refserver.00

but I see that is supposed to be literally refserver.00.

Thanks!

 I would like to have a generic CLI tool which modifies the
 configuration, before I implement this method. 'vcopy' needs
 testing also; especially for the not-link-but-copy and
 skipped-files cases.

What is vcopy? I did not know it existed and I cannot find any man
pages for it. 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/source/apps/vunify
|   (+ configure special exclude lists)
| # /usr/lib/util-vserver/vunify dst src

But it is not mature enough to document it somewhere else ;)
(e.g. '-n' does not really work, source *requires* a supported
pkg-management, ...)
