The correct answer is "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=hdb1 bs=1024". This doesn't care what is one the drive, even win 95 (known by experience), and it will act like a perfect mirror. The proper thing to do is to nfs export everything on one system, make a boot disk that can mount the nfs drive, partition/mount the new drive, and edit any specific info (hostname and ip) all by a simple boot script. It's way above my head, but when set up right, would be almost as easy to do 100 as it is to do 5. I think this is what the titanic team did (in the lj article). I don't think they used redhat's easy method.
