Howdie people! Got a client that needs a test environment where the disk on one specific server (maybe more in the future?) are wiped clean once in a while (so the performance tests always start at the same state). They want the same machine to be at alternate times installed with one of several images, Windows and Linux. Naturally I prefer to skip proprietary solutions and go to open.
One of the requiremnets is that the data is only wiped on one of the two disks in the machine, or preferably just a single partition (the OS). Stored images can go to the other disk, or a remote server. Naturally I prefer a remote server because then I'll be able to use it for other one-shot installs as well (such as virtual machines, or just future bare-metals) On the short list are: * OpenQRM (an overkill, and I think avoiding full wipe is not easy) * G4L (I know nothing about it) * Partimage/PING (donno it, and it seems unmaintained) * Clonezilla (seems like the best candidate ATM) * FOG (aka freeghost - seems pretty good as well) So... before I sink my teeth in, I'd love any recommendations or warnings that will save me time. If you have interesting horror stories that go with the warnings, that's even better :-) Thanks, Ira. -- Dumb as they come Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
