→Creating your own templates: use --numeric-owner option for tar
== Fedora Core 5 Tips ==
== Use development branch ==
You should be using the OpenVZ development branch of kernels with FC5. The kernels have <code>test </code> in their name. Go to your [[yum ]] repo configuration and make sure that the development repo is enabled , or do the following.:
echo '
[openvz-kernel-devel]
gpgkey=http://download.openvz.org/RPM-GPG-Key-OpenVZ
' > /etc/yum.repos.d/openvz-devel.repo
Note: Do not install the FC5 openvz kernel on the website, it is outdated if you have an up to date FC5 install.
== Fix metadata Creating your own templates ==
== Creating your own templates Yum differences == OpenVZ creates an entirely new yum.conf as part of the meta-data for a distribution. For FC5 this is in '/vz/template/fedora-core/5/i386/config/yum.conf'. If you have a local repository mirror of FC5 this means openvz will seem very slow unless you update this new openvz yum.conf to match your normal system yum.conf. Additionally vzyum doesn't seem to pick up $releasever in yum files. I haven't figured that one out yet, and havn't rechecked.
