well, I have no idea why this isn't part of the tools yet, so you probably have to ask Enrico about the detailed motivation, but, I'd suggest to do it like this: - reserve space on your /vservers partition for a template - dump/restore or cp -va or whatever, your existing host system there - cleanup the template with simple chroot, i.e. remove packages and stuff you won't need in a guest, adjust the startup/shutdown scripts to avoid hardware stuff - clear out /proc and /dev inside the template now this is only required once, and will save you a lot of space later ... to create a new guest, use the 'skeleton' method with all the desired config options, then copy over the template into the skeleton guest dir HTH, Herbert > Sukrit.D. > > _______________________________________________ > Vserver mailing list > [email protected] > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
