I am trying clone a Vm runing Redhat ES 3.
the vm is setup with the default scsi hdd.
The partitions on sda are as follows
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3
/dev/sda2 is LVM
i have 3 lv's on one vg
/dev/Volume00/LogVol00 is / ext3
/dev/Volume00/LogVol01 is /tmp ext3
/dev/Volume00/LogVol02 is swap
i am sending the clone to an NFS share
the /boot partition is saved OK but when clonezilla starts to work on the LVM i get these errors
Parsing LVM layout...
Parsing logical volumes...
/opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions: line 2348: /home/partimag/redhat_test/lvm_vg_dev.list: no such file or directory

/home/partimag/redhat_test/lvm_vg_dev.list: no such file or directory
Saving the VG config...
/home/partimag/redhat_test/lvm_vg_dev.list: no such file or directory
done!
then it halts and the ocs-help mesg is displayed.
if i setup a test VM with IDE HDD everything works fine...
is there a way to clone these machines ?

Well, for the past 2 years, you are the first one to mention this. We will think about that.
