      I have an Antix 16 server, that runs Cups, Samba, MySQL and Bacula. I want to upgrade this to Antix 17, but the server is too critical to simply install the new version, so I thouight I would take a snapshot, install the snapshot on a Qemu/KVM vm and could test the upgrade process, update the repos and dist-upgrade. I upgraded my laptop from 16 to 17 using this method, so it seems succesfull. My first attempt with antixsnapshot failed, when booting the iso, it couldn’t locate linuxfs. The only change I had made to antixsnapshot.conf was to change the file locations from the default. I discovered I had not update the “exclude” correctly and had failed to include a 900G filesystem, not sure why that made a difference but it seemed to. My second attempt with antixsnapshot generated a snapshot with linuxfs, but now I get a message about missing /live/aufs. isosnapshot is not an option, there is no X on the server. Any ideas?

        Well, kind of in the same boat but the ones I need to update are dist-upgraded versions of antiX v11/12…

        Will let you know when I have the best method figured out in case it is something that will work for you.
