Regarding the user-space command, ah, maybe I did not think it through when I wrote that. But my concern is that once you hard copy a guest server, then you still need to copy/create /etc/vservers/newtest, where newtest is the name of the newly copied server /vservers/newtest.
Basically, by copying by hand, users have to take of these steps???
Or should you suggest to use vserver-copy, then delete /vservers/newtest, then hard-copy. Because my guess is that vserver-copy would take care some of the works regarding configuration files.
I have troubles carrying out some of the steps because I just don't know which of which is legacy or new. I have tried to absord as much infor as possible but I am sure I might forget some of the readings.
Could you suggest or point to document(s) that describe(s) correct ways of doing these things?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Steven.

what do you mean by bypass user-space commands?
