This environment will have two identical / separate
systems referred to as System A and System B
- I want to install FreeBSD on to System A
- Once that installation is complete with selected
ports and custom applications, I want to make an exact
duplicate of System A on System B
I dont want to do this with drives in the same
system, rather I would like to clone System A
run liveCD on system B, make partitions as you like, newfs, mount as
needed under say /mnt (like /mnt, /mnt/usr etc), set up network and do
cd /mnt
rsh -l root IP_of_systemA "tar --one-file-system -cf - / /usr /othermountpoint
/anothermointpoint"|tar xpf -
cd /
umount /mnt
make sure you did
bsdlabel -B yourfirstdrive
on systema activate rshd and add ip of systemb to .rhosts in /root, at
least temporarily.
keep machines in sync with rsync, prepare your rsync script, exclude list
etc etc._______________________________________________
