Re: taking image of disk and clonning it
Hi,
I had mixed results with Mondo. http://www.mondorescue.org
It will create a bootable iso, dvd/cdrom or tape archive of your system.
You can select parts of your system also. The speed is ok, but i don't
have much to compare...
If you have a plain install (stock kernel, no lvm) you might have success
on the first go. I had a problem with LVM2, had to remove MAPPER from the
entries in fstab. Also some problems with large filesystems, part from
that al went OK!
Gr,
Bart
