Hi folks,

I just got into contact with openvz a couple of weeks ago and I am really impressed about its features.
Dealing with normal VEs everything works fine. however I´m going to virtualize a physical machine, which makes up some questions.
I just followed the wiki-entry about this topic but neglected the udev-issue.
Thus I run into some errors (pty not a folder...).
Could someone tell me how to disable udev for the VE? Únfortunately Im still a linux-noob.
I use rsync to copy the phsyical machine files (excluding dev etc.)
Actually the machine which shall be virtualized is a fedora7 distro and the HN is fedora core 6.
Sorry for such a silly question but I just dont know what to do.

Greetings

Norman

It's bad idea to just copy files from HN. Much better is to using precreated templates, available from openvz site.

i just followed the HOWTO entry "physical to VE", which describes a virtualization by first copying with rsync.
Is there another method to virtualize a physical machine? I would like to virtualize a physical fedora 6 or fedora 7 machine. OpenVZ is installed on fedora 6.
If there´s an easier and faster way then any help is welcomed.

See ya,

Norman
