Gabriel;
This looks like a good clone script, though it is specific to the layout of a specific drive. Have you used it successfully? One thing you may consider is a different way to prepare for these situations. One way would be to use a motherboard that has on-board RAID. They are commonly available and can do RAID 0+1 with inexpensive IDE drives. The 0+1 is mirroring and striping for redundancy and performance. A server will continue running if a hard disk fails. Another way to handle these situations is a regular backup. Backups aren't fun, but they are an important part of server management - especially where user files are concerned. A good open source solution is Amanda (http://www.amanda.org). It is a backup program that performs automated, scheduled backups of computers over the network. By default, it backs up to tape drives, but it can be configured to back up to disk. It uses "dump" and "gnu-tar" to perform full and incremental backups. As for your other questions, here's some answers for Red Hat systems: Change server name: Use the "hostname" command to change it now Edit /etc/sysconfig/network to change it permanently Change server IP address: Run "setup", change "Network" Tom >Message: 18 >From: "gabriel lopez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Script to Clone hda.
