Currently I'm imaging inside the vm, allowing SI to reboot once done and I can console, shutdown, destroy etc. During the creation I'm in the vm (thus console) and so I can watch what SI is doing and if it fails, I can interact just like if I was imaging a standalone system (watching the console or terminal). Obviously one can simply create an domain in ram, but I like having the full domain available,, Using a lvm create a small 10gig chunk that SI sees as a xvd* disk, it partitions it nicely and bingo no issues. In fact just handed this off to one of my guys and they quickly built up a postgres install and is doing some basic testing of 8.3 in the domain (need to get off the virtual speak, and start using domain, or vice versa) Tory Trying the patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
