Very awesome indeed! Can we mention sysresccs.org's ISO (based on gento nexgen live) as an alternative to knoppix? Their project managed along with partimage and the iso is smaller. It also includes all the fat partition fixing tools etc.
For the netboot clients, i had to check some stuff prior to using partimage. first, check all dependencies in partimage are satisfied by the client or use static. then check to make sure the clients have ide-disk loaded and the nodes for the devices you are backing up/restoring exist. Also, instead of samba/cifs, I use NFS because the client is already using it. What is the performance difference between the two? Then to fully automate a backup we need to have a script that fetches all the partition names and stores them in a unique folder after invoking partimage with the appropriate command line options. afaik this can't be left unattended for ntfs atm. Thanks for contributing the wiki. It's bound to get plenty of hits, serving oor community =P TB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/21/2004 12:46 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Please respond to LUAU <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject [LUAU] open source ghosting/wiki syntax? I was interested (& slightly confused) by the discussion of open source ghosting. I've put a page on the wiki (http://www.hosef.org/wiki/OpenSourceGhosting) to try to condense/verify/expand on what I learned in that discussion. The page is just a sketch at the moment, I plan to do some actual ghosting and fill it out when I know what I'm doing. Also, one of the URLs I try to link to has a ~ in it, and the wiki software elides it, breaking the URL. Anyone know how to fix it? best, Dave _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
