Flash disk cloning

SMR Flash Disk Cloning

2012 version with Xubuntu 12.04

NB! not finished yet, but there is clone scrips (from image to new bootable disk) on smr24 in room 011:

Make new boot image

Update image on one of the 4GB sticks, then make new imagefile

• put 4GB stick on another linux (with GRUP installed)
• mount the disk on a local directory as root, e.g.:

sudo bash
mkdir -p disk
mount /dev/sdb1 disk

• copy everything on disk to an image file (it takes several minutes):

cd disk
tar -czf ../image/smrXubuntu20120715.tar.gz *
cd ..
umount disk

Clone image to (new) disk

Make a new bootable disk from existing image:

Use clone-xubuntu and clone-databar on smr24 as root in /root, where available images are in the images subdirectory.
