I generally use compaq/hp hardware and their hardware raid controllers, and clone our machines by pulling a drive from our root mirror and booting our development machine from the pulled drive. I have also used ghost. The only caveat with ghost is you can use anything other than ext filesystems. I am using reiser on most of my machines and thus have stopped using ghost for the most part. darren -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx <redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx> To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri Apr 28 02:58:40 2006 Subject: Re: Clone ES4 machine On Tue, Apr 25, 2006 at 12:05:57PM +0000, j_70@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > I am looking to 'clone' one of our ES4 production machines to make an > exact copy as a development box.

Depending on how much data is in the machine, you can also use it to make a boot/rescue/restore DVD. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.
