I'm looking for advice on building up a filesystem image file. I have a working server that I want to mimick in UML. What is the best way to get the filesystem of the real server into a UML filesystem image? What are the gotchas? eg. I can immediately suspect device configs and partition tables would be problematic.
My understanding is that the filesystem image is just the result of a "mount -o loop" situation. Is this true or are there additional elements to the filesystem image file? Eventually I'm also interested in going the other way too: tuning the UML system config then putting those changes back onto the real servers. What do should I keep in mind when creating the UML image that will help me avoid problems going back to the real servers?
