diskclone ext3fs using ghost?
has anyone been successfull in cloning the ext3fs filesystem using Ghost or DriveImage or something else ?
I have tried DriveImage 2002 but this one does not recognize ext3fs. Ghost 7.5 and Ghost 2003 are able to clone the disk but at a very slow rate. However after the disk cloning, I cannot boot up the new disk.
Something weird during the clone is that I cannot use the same size for the partitions. Ghost resizes it a bit. After the clone operation I see GRUB but then it stops. Normally it says GRUB with some points ...
Anyone tried a disk to disk clone on a Linux with ext3fs before ?
Thanks for any info,
Jeroen.

Re: diskclone ext3fs using ghost?
This only works if both servers have the same type of raidcontroller though.

I only need to create a spare disk. RAID is not an option here (too bad)

It is slow, but it has the advantage of exactly copying key configuration information.

Re: diskclone ext3fs using ghost?
when you cloned the disk, did ghost take the exact same size for the partitions ?
Did you use special flags ? Sector by sector copying won't work since my disks aren't exactly the same size. I need native cloning.
The specialty of my linux distro is that it is SecurePlatform. That is a RedHat based hardened linux by Check Point. It is designed by them for firewall usage. I don't think however that they have enforced some sort of unclonable sectors.

Have you tried to boot up cd in repair mode to fix Grub bootblock?
