Hello!

I just created a disk image using the Linode Manager. Problem is, I can't find it anywhere inside the vps (Ubuntu 12.04).

I was expecting it to show up at /dev/xvdc as I have a default + swap partition layout. It does not show up. I rebooted the node to no avail.


fdisk -l

Disk /dev/xvda: 30.4 GB, 30408704000 bytes

Disk /dev/xvda doesn't contain a valid partition table

Anyone has any pointers ?

Thanks in advance

Did you edit your configuration profile to assign that disk image to /dev/xvdc? If not, add it and reboot and it should then show up.

Ahh, that must be it.

Thanks a ton.
