Partclone is an open source filesystem backup/cloning utility which
supports the following filesystems:
* Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4
* Reiserfs
* Reiser4
* Xfs
* NTFS
* FAT
* HFS plus
* UFS/UFS2
It is a complement to the popular partimage tool which does not
support ext4 filesystems.
The project's official website is at
http://partclone.org/index.php
Question: Why do I want to write this tutorial for building and
installing partclone?
Answer: The authors of partclone only provide Debian .deb binary
packages in addition to source tarballs. There are no RPM binary
packages for partclone at all.
Pre-requisites:
1. Install the following development packages.
# yum install glibc-devel e2fsprogs-devel
2. Install the libufs2 port to Linux. Read the tutorial here:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-November/msg01253.html
Download the latest partclone source release from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/partclone/files/0.1.9/partclone_0.1.9-4.tar.gz/download
Extract the partclone source tarball after completing the download.
$ tar xfvz partclone_0.1.9-4.tar.gz
Change directory into the partclone source directory tree.
$ cd partclone-0.1.9
Apply the following patch to the configure script.
$ patch < configure-fc11.patch
