I would suggest looking at your image capture log to see why it couldn't create\append the currentimage.txt file.
I've been in the habit of doing a 'touch /home/root/currentimage.txt' within Cygwin to create a blank currentimage.txt before I perform a capture. The capture process then appends with the image name and version. This is then read in when a reservation is made to check if it's the appropriate image and version. - Gerhard Hartl Old Dominion University Norfolk, VA -----Original Message----- From: James Patrick Sigmon [mailto:jpsig...@ncsu.edu] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 1:16 PM To: vcl-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: unnecessary reload Hey Guys, My reservations will always reload at the beginning of the reservation processes even if the vmguest is currently loaded with the desired image. Looking at the output from the vcld.log, it appears that the issue is with a file it can't find called currentimage.txt. Any ideas on how to fix this?
