Hi, Roderick.
Your clue was also helpful and forced me to take a closer look at my command
used for cloning. I realize now that I had an error in it, which I have
since corrected. It was a careless error:
vserver vs4_gent build -m clone --interface enp1s10:192.168.0.22/24 --
source /vservers/vs1
Anyway, I have another Gentoo guest. All's well that ends well.
