Network cloning of raid array

Tue Nov 9 10:29:51 CST 2004

Not sure if it will work in a RAID setup, but the Linux world has partimage, to image partitions.  I still haven't had a chance to test it, but it is supposed to work with NFS shares, partition to partition and disk to disk.   There may be something in the RaidTools package that will do what you want.

I have 2 raid 5 systems that I need to install to be identical.  I was
hoping someone might know of a way to install and configure the first,
and then clone it over the network.  Yes, I could use ghost, but I was
hoping there was a nice way of doing it with Linux utilities.  I read
about using a rescue disk and a floppy with netcat to use dd, but I am
not sure that is the easiest way.  Suggestions?
