Herbert is the guy to listen to. I was not aware that vserver-copy was a legacy app (now I
know). The next time I build a vserver I'll use:
sudo vserver vcrux02 build -m skeleton -n vcrux02 --context 200
--hostname vcrux02.corporate.net --interface xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --netdev eth0
--netmask 255.255.255.0 --initstyle plain
sudo rm -rf /vservers/vcrux02
sudo cp -va /vservers/vcrux01 /vservers/vcrux02
OR
sudo rsync -av /vservers/vcrux01/
/vservers/vcrux02
OR
any other means you desire
later

-----Original Message-----Hi, all. Thanks for your answers. Thank smagnuson and Mr. Poetzl . As Mr. Poetzl suggested by those two commands, then we just build one guest server and then (hard) copy by: 'cp -va' the whole guest server to the new one. Is it possible that we bypass the user-space commands/utilities to clone a guest this way? If so, then wonderful.

Btw, is it the best possible and portable way?
Thanks.

For this matter, I could not find enough information to try. It seems like for Gentoo distribution http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vserver-howto.xml shows that you can tar the whole guest server and then reuse this tarball.
I also found vserver-copy and read the man page and tried this on my configured guest server. I got the following error trying to copy my lanweb FC4 guest server to a newtest guest server:
vserver-copy -v lanweb/ newtest
I: vserver-copy: called on abc-25 at Tue Oct 18 12:28:25 PDT 2005
newtest
E: vserver-copy: Vserver file "/etc/vservers/lanweb/.conf" does not exist
Coudl somebody tell me what .conf file and where/how to configure/find it? Is it the same file with /etc/vservers/lanweb/lanweb.conf file. Currently, I disabled/do not have this lanweb.conf file.
In the man page, it also mention about /etc/vservers/vserver.conf and with my current settings, I don't have this file either.
Could someone give me some information regarding all of these .conf files?
Thank you in advance for all your helps.
Steven.
