All I get is a 5 gig file. The cp doesn’t
create another LV.
I created a LV
the size of the source domU and did the cp to it.
I got the same error when starting it.
error: (9, ‘Bad File
Descriptor’)
Maybe it has something to do with the way
I created the fc5 domU? I just took the default partition scheme offered by the
installer.
thanks

Xen 3 Copy domu
I’m pretty sure you just want to
copy that file, use cp /dev/VolGroup00/fc5image /dev/VolGrou00/web, that will
make a copy of that domain, then copy the config file and point it at that
image.

Subject: [Xen-users] Fedora 5 Xen
3 Copy domu
I have Xen 3 running on FC5. I
created my domU with the xenguest-install.py script and stored it on a logical
volume called fc5image. I now want to create other xen domains from this
“image”. I have been using dd without success.
I get the following error when I try
to start the image copy:
error: (9, ‘Bad File
Descriptor’)
The format of the dd command I am using
is as follows:
dd if=/dev/VolGroup00/fc5image
of=/dev/VolGroup00/web bs=512k
fc5image and web are both 5Gig
lv’s.
Is there another way to create xen
domu from an existing domu?
thanks!
