...-x64 is the logical volume. # kpartx -av /dev/loop1 Then I would see the partitions of the virtual machine within a logical volume, like so: /dev/mapper/loop1p1 /dev/mapper/loop1p2 /dev/mapper/loop1p3 Now that I can access the partitions of the virtual machine within a logical volume, I can use partimage or fsarchiver to backup the partitions (provided the filesystem is supported by the archiver). But the problem is that I can only backup/clone the filesystems of my virtual machine within a logical volume. I can''t backup the Master Boot Record (MBR) of the virtual machine within a logica...

So the short summary of my problem is, the batch file rsync creates is HUGE for a very small change. The idea is to create workstation image with partimage, update it with some software and send the image update diff over the wire to a large number of destinations over a satellite link, but the batch file updates are several orders of magnitude too large. I don't know exactly how partimage creates image files, so the bytes/blocks may be ordered...

Perhaps slightly OT, but I am trying to speed up a backup script which takes an lv snapshot and does this: dd if=lv_snapshot | gzip -c > /destination/lv_file_name.gz Does anyone have an equivalent example using partimage-ng that they would be kind enough to share? - I have been told it would be much faster/more efficient, hence the question. Ten minutes of browsing the partimage-ng docs have left me none the wiser... Many thanks, Matt _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen...

I have a need to have a live Linux (Debian or sysrescued ) to boot off a hard-drive so that the hard-drive ends up umounted after boot. (for running partimage ). I've gone down the memdisk iso route and read about the issues there - I've seen a way to do this by mounting over nfs (messy) - but I want to do this without the network. I'm thinking that there should be a way to loop mount the needed files on a ram-disk. I've Googled this...

Hi all, I'm looking for a tool that lists the used blocks in an ext3 file system. Is there already a tool that does exactly that? The closest I could find is dumpe2fs which lists groups, and free blocks within the group. Thanks, -Samson

The clonezilla live project is a really nice way to do image-copies of machines: http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/clonezilla-live/ but it's based on a Debian live OS which has some unfamiliar quirks. Has anyone built something like this on a Centos base? For anyone who hasn't seen it, it can do whole disk or partition copies of windows and most Linux filesystems and it knows enough to

I just want to move everything from the older drive because I think it's failing. I have looked at partimage and mondo rescue as imaging solutions but both deal with partitions. CAn someone plz point me to a howto that shows how to image the entire drive incuding mbr, partiton table and data all with one program? I am hoping to boot with a CD to do this while having both drives plugged in. So I think som...

Anyone have any experience getting ghost to do a successful image with CentOS, Fedora, or RHEL? It worked great with RH9, but now a days I find it nearly impossible to get it to work properly. Any tips would be helpful. We spin up a large number of servers on a weekly basis and it would be nice to just be able to image them. Thanks, -Drew -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

You could also try playing with partimage here - similar to Ghost, curses interface, Free software. I''ve not used this for Xenning systems but have previously used it for backing up configurations of physical machines over the network using a live CD - worked very well for us. > I know VMWare ESX has a tool for live-migra...

Hi all! I have a slight problem: I have an external disk which contains one big filesystem (like a floppy) type ext3 (If you ask why: blame udev or maxtor, or me because I am stupid) which is approx 60% filled. Now I want to have a partition table, ie a layout where the current filesystem is the first partition, and the rest is as usual. Is this possible withotu destroying the data? Best

I am trying to use symantic 8.X and ghost a disk. I get "Apllication Error 29004. Read sector failure, result = 1, drive = 0, sectors 2071692247 to 2071692255" when trying to ghost the disk. anyone done this successfully? symantic supports ext3. Thanks, jerry

...me advice as to where I would look for troubleshooting this issue? I really am not interested in what's on it. I just want to re-format it and (possibly) use it for storage. I have tried using various toosl to try and wipe this drive but nothing seems to work...(SystemRescue CD....D.B.A.N.......PartImage....Hiram's BootCD....) Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance EGO II

I have a flash memory stick that is formated with ext3 file system. NOw, there is an application on it that I would like to copy to another memory stick. I can copy it, but when I do so, that application does not work properly (it won't start - boot problem???). Is there a tool that can copy an entire content from one flash stick to another? Thanks!!! -------------- next part --------------

Hi, I have a project where I have to backup (copy /dev/hda on a server) and recover (copy back) hardrives from the clients. I tried this with rsync using: BACKUP: rsync /dev/hda user@host:/path/to/image RECOVER: rsync user@host:/path/to/image /dev/hda There is a problem when accessing devices like /dev/hda. The transfer aborts after a few seconds with the error message: write failed on
