Well, today is Oct 8th 2014 and I just lost three VMs because of this. That the tyrget folder (/var/lib/libvirt/images) wasn't backed-up is my fault but the documentation SHOULD BE CLEARER about what happens when you pass the -o option to vmbuilder.
And yes, overwriting the whole directory is not that clever when overwriting the disk image with the same name is enough. Just lost hours (even days) worth of hard work :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090223 Title: The directory ubuntu-kvm disappeared after creating vms failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vmbuilder/+bug/1090223/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
