Of course. Actually, I did it several times. However, I'd like to make
it even easier (that what's wishlist is about after all) :)
And if the source vm has to be stopped, copying the image file is faster
and the stopped domU can be restarted sooner. I agree that a lvm
snapshot can be done to make things faster, though.
(You might also be interested in the --tar argument which will
untar a previous tarfile of a disk image instead of using a network
copy.)
Yep. I use that to copy real machine in domU : I tar everything (except
proc, sys and big log files) over ssh on my xen machine and create a new
domU with --tar. Many thanks for this particular option, it really helps :)
