I am using fairly old versions of the scripts that support using partimageng with xCAT (partimageng.pm, partimageng postscript, listener.py), which work fine but I thought it would be good to get things more up to date.
Looking at the current version of the partimageng postscript at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Adding+support+for+partimage+and+partimage-ng+to+xCAT+2.x+%28unofficial%29 , it appears that it expects that the image files are gzipped. Unless I'm reading it wrong, on a restore it zcats the image file and on a save it gzips it. If this is true, am I correct in the assumption that I would need to gzip all my existing xCAT images before updating these scripts?
