Need to look more at the internals of that. What Andrew had was kind of like p2v ... used a live media to clone the disk image using partimage-ng to NFS, and the same image had a loader mode. Check this out here... https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/PhysicalSystemCloneFeature How about we try to get this going again? I think it mostly worked in his lab install... though I was seeing some issues with it... and we might want to try to speed it up or do something else slightly different using the same general idea. There are a lot of smart folks on this list, I'm sure we can figure something out. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
