Unable to find disk image partition

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

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3696 cylinders, total 59392000 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0x00000000

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

Disk /dev/xvdb: 268 MB, 268435456 bytes

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.
