→Creating your own templates: use --numeric-owner option for tar
Note: Do not install the FC5 openvz kernel on the website, it is outdated if you have an up to date FC5 install.
== Creating your own templates ==
<pre>
tar --numeric-owner -zcf /vz/template/cache/fedora-core-5-i386-minimal-mine.tar.gz -C /vz/private/101/ .
</pre>
If you create a ve from one of your own templates, you should edit veid.conf in /etc/vz/conf to set the OSTEMPLATE variable back to fedora-core-5. This will insure that vzyum etc continue to work. Otherwise openvz may not find the metadata for your machine.
