Hi Have configured Asterisk PBX running on Centos 5.0 just the way I want it. I am using Proxmox and it is a KVM VM.
I want to convert this KVM image to openvz. Is it possible to do it?
I tried to use the instruction on this site.
It does not work.
I have some questions.
Since the source is already a virtual machine then Why should we exclude the dev (Devices), proc and temp directory from the KVM image.
the rsync command I used
rsync -arvpz --numeric-ids --exclude dev --exclude proc --exclude tmp
-e "ssh -l root@192.168.0.100" root@192.168.0.100:/ /vz/private/211/
Secondly Why should we disable udev.
Because I am getting number of errors pertaining to tty0 not found, tty9 not found.
These are present in the original KVM images's /dev directory.
Number of services are failing to start.
I have spent more than 4 days just trying to figure this out with various permutations and combinations
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

what article you have tried?
I think we'd better struggle against the concrete problems.
Could you please explain what in particular doesn't work?

proc and temp are filesystems that exist only in memory so they can be mounted during the startup process and mustn't be copied.
You can create whatever devices you want in private area being created.
