* mount new-disk-a /gerbils * mkdir /gerbils/usr /gerbils/var /gerbils/home * mount new-disk-d /gerbils/usr * mount new-disk-e /gerbils/var * mount new-disk-f /gerbils/home (mount these with "-o async", that will make the rest much faster.) After this, I usually just do a === cd / find -dx . | cpio -dump /gerbils find -dx usr var home | cpio -dump /gerbils vi /gerbils/etc/<whatever> === That's how I duplicated the 20 machines in our disk array here. (Of course, you probably don't want the "/home" to be copied, but you get the idea.) Satoshi
