4.4 Cloning Hard Drives

Since we've set up a custom partitioning scheme, it's important that we make sure each hard drive in each client has the same setup. We could partition the 10 hard drives individually, or we can make nine exact copies of the one hard drive we've set up. The way to do this is to make a bit by bit copy using the UNIX command dd. This will take a long time for larger hard drives, so it might be worth it to do this step differently if there are many hard drives.

4.4.1dd

  • First you need to boot using a live cd, which is on the Ubunut CD or DVD.

  • Start copying:

    • dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

  • The downside of this approach is that it takes about 80 minutes to copy 80 GB, because it's doing a bit by bit copy

4.4.2 PartImage

  • Using a live cd, you can cut your time down 10 times by using PartImage

  • After booting from a live cd, edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and remove all of the commented sources

  •  

    Now, you need to mount the storage section of your hard drive using these commands

    • sudo mkdir /storage
    • sudo mount /dev/sda3 /storage

  • Run the following commands

    • sudo apt-get update
    • sudo apt-get install partimage
    • sudo partimage

  • Now that partimage is running, create an iso image of your Operating System partition (sda1), and place it in /storage

  • You can move the images to different computers using scp and then reinstall the operating system partition with PartImage

  • Here is a helpful guide: PartImage

sembra che sia meglio usare http://www.systemimager.org/

some good points but the best way is systemimager.

i'm working for
the department of electrical and computer eng at the university
of alberta right now, and i setup a lab of 68 machines, a lab of 30,
and am the contact person for 3 other individuals customizing ubuntu
for their labs with cross-compilers, etc. we are using systemimager to
do everything and it's amazing. setup one golden client, hack some scripts,
add some users for automation, and go drink coffee
