thanks, one more question what will be the virt-clone command to clone
existing vm which FS is based on loop back files and using more then one
file for root. var, and swap eg here is the entry from /etc/xen/vm.cfg which
we are using

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-2952.fc8xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.21-2952.fc8xen-domU.img"

memory = 256
name = "vm1"
vif = [ 'ip=xx.xx.xxx.xxx' ]
disk = ['tap:aio:/var/uml/vm1/root,sda1,w',
'tap:aio:/var/uml/vm1/var,sda2,w', 'tap:aio:/var/uml/vm1/swap,sda3,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'


all our our virtual hosts we are using separate loop back files for root,
var and swap.

thanks.
