Hi!
I need to create a exact copy of a RH9 system. This system has the
following partitions: /root, /swap, and /.
What I would like was to somehow create a “ghost” of the disk, so I
could disconnect the original IDE Drive, connect the “ghost” and the
system work as normal.
If I had a LVM how would it be?
Is there some application or way to replicate the disk, create a
mirror, ghost, whatever??
look at

Nice site. What are the effects on hard and soft links of using
tar in this way?
Also, he asked about LVM.
My first thoughts were, if the hard drives were identical,
to use dd on the devices /hda and /hdb (or whatever they
were), or dump/restore.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
