Dear list, today I had to clone an LTSP server system to make it run on a faster machine. I did so using "cp -a", because the destination partition was much larger.
Of course, I adapted fstab and persistent network rules for udev. The system comes up fine, and also gets its IPs as desired. Alas, thin clients end up booting with TFTP timeout (dhcp working). Now, I wonder what might have gone wrong during cloning? Are there further steps necessary like re-creation of ssh-keys (due to different NICs/MAC addresses)? Or are there architecture dependent kernel options for LTSP (source machine was AMD64, destination Intel Pentium, so it runs a different kernel). Or is "cp -a" not enough to preserve all permissions and symbolic links? Any hint welcome, regards Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
