DESCRIPTION
- xen-update-image is a simple script which allows you to update
- a Xen image of Debian which has been created with xen-create-image.
It does this by mounting the image inside a temporary directory- then running:
apt-get update- apt-get upgrade
- NOTE If the image is already running within Xen this will cause
- corruption otherwise it will allow you to update your image without
booting it.
EXAMPLES
- The following assumes there are two images which are not currently
- running. The images are called 'test.my.flat', and 'x11.my.flat'.
Updating both images can be accomplished by executing:
xen-update-images --dir=/home/xen test.my.flat x11.my.flat
