Hi all

I'd like to know if it's possible to clone a running domU. I need to make an exact copy of an existing CentOS xen domU, but without taking it offline. I'm using LVM, so I don't know if it will help.

I have tried doing it with dd, after shutting down the domU, but it takes ages. The LVM image is 30GB. I can't really afford to have the running one off line that long, so if possible I'd like todo it while it's running.
