[LUAU] open source ghosting/wiki syntax?

[Tom_Gordon/RISE/HIDOE at notes.k12.hi.us]

Very awesome indeed!  Can we mention sysresccs.org's ISO (based on gento 
nexgen live) as an alternative to knoppix?  Their project managed along 
with partimage and the iso is smaller.  It also includes all the fat 
partition fixing tools etc.

For the netboot clients, i had to check some stuff prior to using 
partimage.  first, check all dependencies in partimage are satisfied by 
the client or use static.  then check to make sure the clients have 
ide-disk loaded and the nodes for the devices you are backing up/restoring 
exist.

Also, instead of samba/cifs, I use NFS because the client is already using 
it.  What is the performance difference between the two?

Then to fully automate a backup we need to have a script that fetches all 
the partition names and stores them in a unique folder after invoking 
partimage with the appropriate command line options.  afaik this can't be 
left unattended for ntfs atm.

Thanks for contributing the wiki.  It's bound to get plenty of hits, 
serving oor community =P

[LUAU] open source ghosting/wiki syntax?






I was interested (& slightly confused) by the
discussion of open source ghosting. I've put a page on
the wiki
(http://www.hosef.org/wiki/OpenSourceGhosting) to try
to condense/verify/expand on what I learned in that
discussion. The page is just a sketch at the moment, I
plan to do some actual ghosting and fill it out when I
know what I'm doing.

Also, one of the URLs I try to link to has a ~ in it,
and the wiki software elides it, breaking the URL.
Anyone know how to fix it?

best,
Dave
