the 'copy' part (for the configuration) from
vserver-debiantools 0.1.10 shows clearly that
it _only_ supports legacy config (which is
older than a year now and deprecated) ...

also it seems to assume that you use a single
IP with a very specific network setup, otherwise
I would not see how it could work correctly ...
| FROMNAME=$S_HOSTNAME
| FROMIP=$IPROOT
| FROMDEV=$IPROOTDEV
| ;;
- it doesn't handle IPROOTMASK or IPROOTBCAST
- it doesn't handle more complex IPROOT setups
correctly like
eth0:192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
and probably a bunch of other issues if you dig
into it ...
until a 'proper' solution is presented by Enrico
the 'best' way to copy a vserver guest is to do
it like this:
vserver <new> build -m skeleton ...options...
rm -rf /path/to/new
cp -va /path/to/old /path/to/new
unfortunately this will destroy external package
management and might have other unwanted sideeffects
and I really hope that there will be a proper
solution soon ...
best,
Herbert
