I am trying to figure out if it is possible to remotely re-image a linux machine that is running. I think the process would be something like:
- create a ramdisk - copy system files to ram disk - change filesystem root to ram disk - turn off the swap partition - unmount all drives but ram disk - run netcat (or ssh+dd) to receive new drive image - reboot machine - hope it works I use dd and Clonezilla for local cloning, but I've never remotely re-imaged a machine. It seems like something that has probably already been solved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
