You could try this. You have linux installed on a machine on /dev/hda. You have two other disks, disk A (/dev/hdb) and disk B (/dev/hdc). You want to clone disk A onto disk B. You use a byte to byte copy like:
dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc NOTE: disk A and disk B must be identical. This will clone every thing (partition table, MBR, etc) --- Ernest Byaruhanga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello lugs, > > does anyone know of the best way i can make an image > of one server (with its > exact contents) duplicated to another server (for > clustering?)
