error in Cloning Virtual Machines

[ikkeT]

The chapter 7s4 has an error. There is something missing while taking copy of the disk.

```
From the terminal, edit the /home/student/DO316/labs/advanced-clone/dv.yaml file that the lab command has prepared. The file defines a DataVolume resource named documentroot-clone1. Under the .spec.source.pvc section, update the name parameter to specify the source PVC.

...

source:
    pvc:
      name: webroot

```

I believe you should not use the name webroot as shown in the DataVolume definition. You should likely take a clone of the disk first, and use that name, e.g. webroot-clone. Following the instructions as such will lead to fail, it will not create any new pvc to use in while adding new disk.

Hello @ikkeT !

Please elaborate on what you mean by "Following the instructions as such will lead to fail, it will not create any new pvc to use in while adding new disk."

As per step 5.2 it wants you to "Use an existing PVC" and that is webroot as in step 4.1.

I followed the instruction and did not get any error in the lab :

Were you talking about some other scenario not in the lab ?

Ok, you got different results. Mine went just here:

äh, I'm not allowed to upload images.

Well, it just says documentroot-clone1 has phase CloneScheduled, and never went further.

Np @ikkeT !

Are you not able to see these options while replying ? 

Or you can copy paste the screenshot in the text area also.

Hmmm, earlier it said I don't have permissions to add images. Now it works. Thanks!
