Hi, Mr. Poetzl. Thanks for answering my question.
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.
