[one-users] [Fwd: Re: How to make a disk image automatically]

[Cuong Hoang Bui]

Hi Tino,

I also tried this before, except I didn't specify format type. But it 
failed, I looked at the log file, I saw that daemon opennebula used 
symbolic link, of course failed because there was no existed image. I 
will try again with your instruction. With this configuration, the image 
will be saved to the image repository?
Also, If I dont want format it right away, I let it in raw format, I 
will do that during OS installation. it is possible?

I will try to test this.

Thank you very much.
