If you used the -x switch with rsync, the contents of sys, dev and proc |
| 15 |
won't be copied n the first place, nor will the contents of any other |
| 16 |
mounted filesystems. |

That's if you rsynced from a running VM. If you used qemu-ndb to mount |
| 19 |
the VM image without starting the VM they would have been empty to start |
| 20 |
with. |
