Hi,
I've been reading this thread with interest.
Honestly I don't see any good reason to use dd to create a clone of your
config.
It will be a total waste of time compared to the classic install.
The path that I would rather take will be :

I'm modifying the create script to send the image to a remote server, but
this might be exactly what I want. Would be nice to wrap some
dd is fine unless you have a running database, like with Snort. You'd have
to employ some sort of a dump and then dd.

I'm experimenting with something like this (from pfsense box):
dd if=/dev/sd0 | gzip | ssh user@host "dd of=/tmp/pfsense_bkup.gzip"
Technically the box will boot and load the needed packages, but if your
doing many boxes and package installation is slow, there is a decent need
for something like
What I wanted is not just the config, but everything. Say I have installed
packages as well and I do not want to go through that again on the next
pfSense box I am building. I only want to change a few configs like LAN/WAN
IP/Subnets and the names. I am thinking of a situation where I am to deploy

Again, at the risk of being so uninformed, I'd like to ask why dump/restore
are not part of pfSense.
Would the inclusion increase the distro size beyond expectations?
I am thinking that I could use dump/restore to create several
instances/installs of pfSense without necessarily having to go on an
