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 _____ From: Turk, JohnX [mailto:johnx.turk@intel.com] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 4:07 PM To: Mike Boulet; xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Fedora 5 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. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Mike Boulet Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 12:22 PM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com 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! _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
