Hi Rudi,

Yes if it contains less that 30Gb of data.

Run: "ls -lhs /my/xen/partition/directory" to see how much space is used by the domU.

Next you need to specify in another e-mail whether you are using LVM (ext3) or loopback files. Then somebody can present a solution. Also, you could change over from loopback to LVM in the process if using LVM for the 50Gb domU.

Hi all

I hope this can be solved.

I have a 50GB CentOS domU, and I want to copy the contents of the domU to another domU, of smaller size (30GB) - is this possible?
