*shrugs* it's what I saw available for download from http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/ Apparently it's a gziped tar with a single file inside: CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud-20170131_01.raw This .raw file is a disk image. >> This downloads the image, but then dies with: >> >> File overly large, refusing >> Failed to retrieve image file.

Before I make a PR here, am I going about running a centos container with machinectl the best way here? How are other people doing this? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
