Hi All !

I've done3 a bit of investigation of this and I'm heading (but haevn't yet got very far) in a slightly different direction:

1) Assume disk space is cheapish but "keep things up to date" admin effort is expensive (my problem, at any rate)

2) Make completely independent filesystems for each domU

3) Use cfengine (www.cfengine.org) to propagate changes and updates ....

1 & 2 I have completed (! easy !)

Concerning 3 this might be an opportune moment to ask if anyone has experience of cfengine? On paper it looks like a rather neat solution to the problem it's trying to address.

Regards, Nigel.

Hello Everyone,
        i need to implement multiples domains, being most of then almost the
same with minimal changes (same distro, same packages, different
configurations).

        Anybody knows if there is a way to share all the common files? This way
all updates will need to be done just one and the disk space will be
much minor.
