Heheh...
This needs updating; only 2 of the vnconfig references have been updated
to mdconfig.

For what its worth I use Norton Ghost to regularly set up a classroom of
machines with FreeBSD 5.3, mostly because other teachers put Windoze
stuff on the same boxes so the Ghost setup makes sense.
Ghost doesn't understand UFS but doesn't need to. It just takes a block
by block copy of the whole p

I use dd a lot for this type of thing and don't see how it could
possibly be slower than any other method that duplicates the entire raw
drive. Make sure to give it a

Yep. Pretty much what I used to do with my ISP.

No. g4u and a script might do a good job for you if your hardware is
mostly similar.

I should point out, this is for replication in a running production
environment. Machines cannot be taken down, and swapping hardware is not
an option.
I'm currently experimenting with a copy of the MBR, and the root
partition on a CD, with enough tools to attach to the network to
retrieve im

I had a shell script that would replicate a machine when I ran my ISP; you
put the loader and partition table, plus a minimal system on the new machine,
then ran the script and pointed it at the "source".
UUUPPP! In about 20 minutes it was done.
Not hard to do at all with a simple sh
Just as a point of note, I'm not trying to roll out squeeky-clean new
machines. Let's say I've got ten-fifteen sets of clusters, I need to be
able to just rip a copy and blast it to another machine.
Thanks for all the responses so far.
