First off, thanks for the great Free Software. System Administrators are
generalists, but if I am at all a one-trick pony, that trick is just using
systemimager ;)
Like the previous author I have been using systemimager since 2003 and some
colleagues have migrated to other imaging projects citing the stagnation of
systemimager.
I still use systemimager, but for my Ubuntu 11.04 installs I change to
grub1, and have to edit master scripts and one or two systemimager commands
as the master is ext4 and the clients ext3. Also the systemconfigurator
version is an SVN version from 2 years ago that the maintainer sent me, and
I edit the master script to remove --runboot; and manually run grubfix.sh
(my script) after the imaging.
Some (long) time back I read on the mailing list that systemimager
maintainers use Ubuntu themselves, and so would soon feel the pain of grub
and ext4, and would be working on these.
Can you perhaps describe more extensively the relation between systemimager
and SALI and your best guess as to the future developments over the next
few years? And perhaps a specific note on the current status in SI and SALI
of grub2, ext4, and systemconfigurator?
Regards,
Jan
