Paul Grange: is the VM still booted when you're doing that?
19:39
What's the output of: sudo fdisk -l /mnt/trial/trial-flat.vmdk

Hi, Thanks for looking :-)... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/eab6933d59587a465089139fe2e7b8dd2693216e)

If it helps, i made a point of not making use of the experimental ZFS and went for the traditional method, with a fixed size VMDK virtual drive,
20:33
Yes, i believe it still boots ok, though have copied it from one place to another, which does take some time to do being 50GB
20:34
I had wondered if the copy process was failing, as takes so long, but given time when copying in terminal window, the prompt does return, as if task successful.
20:42
Had another go with a different Virtual drive, and checked the image virtual machine was shutdown, and same issue

Paul Grange: don't use fat + lvm for the VM disk
20:49
It's easier to use an MBR partition table with the first ext4 partition == the linux installation
20:49
The ltsp code needs to be simple as it's run inside the initramfs; it can't support complicated disk layouts
20:53
<PaulGrange[m]>
I'll give that a try, thanks :-)

s/I'll give that a try, thanks :-)/Trying now with a single root partition on ext4 and indeed it seems to be working this time, Thanks :-)/
