Re: generating images of hosts with ghost

[Rogelio BazÃn Reyes <rogbazan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the rescue must be done with the installation cd?
Because i tried to do this, but the problem is that not at all of the partitions are recognized by linux since the extended partition was altered during the cloning...i mean, the start block is the same than the end block....and all of the partition within the extended are not recognized by linux.
I tried, too, to redefine all the partitions according to the original partition table, but it doesnÂt work because some partiitions were corrupt.
I will go on testing rescueing my linux.
if you have other ideas....email me please!
thanx

Hi, i have to install 600 servers around Mexico with the same 
installation, i mean, they just must differ in the hostname, network 
configuration (ip, mask and gateway) and the data in the database.
I have done the same with Windows Servers using ghost software to 
cloning the master hard disk on all the machines.
When i tried to clone a Linux Red Hat 9 disk with 13 partitions, i found 
that the partition table was altered by ghost, generating panic to the 
kernel.
I already know that this can be possible with dd, but iÂm looking for an 
alternate solution to test, because the people who will clone the disks 
dont know Linux at all, and they know ghost.
Do you know some about this? or Does anybody experienced something like 
this?

thanx
