I maintain the G4L disk imaging project, and its primary backup uses dd and default lzop compression to make image files. It does have a clone option that makes disk to disk clones, but one issue that sometimes happens. If you do a disk clone the block ids of the disks are the same, and if ones loader is using blkids to load partitions, it is confused, since each disk is suppose to have different block ids. In my classroom, I had 20 systems, and would broadcast using udpcast to the other 19 systems, but since all machines were separate no issues on boot. Had a user do a clone in same machine to another disk, and did allow booting from either disk. He could boot from either disk if he disconnected the other. He manually changed the block id on cloned disk, and modified the grub.cfg and then it worked fine. I generally make compressed images to an ftp server or external usb device. G4L can be added to the boot options, and run from ram after loading from /boot. So, another 2 cents. > The iso cuts beautifully to a flash drive with dd > > -T > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/HGCWHOUBRA4GSKF7DI5EKPCFNU7ZUGNN/ +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
