Are you saying that is the only method we shall support? What
if the disks are not the same size? What ifd the machines have been
bought over the years and are not identical? What if they have
different architectures, and the only common factor is that they have
Debian?
And what about updates? The machines are not clones of each
other, there is different datas on the drives. I still do not want to
get spammed by the install process even if I do not use NFS
replication.
