He mentioned ghost which is a program written to replicate hard drive partitions. Usually it's used to make a cookie cutter computer. For example, you have 150 cubicles each with the same model Dell desktop PC and you want to install Windows 98, MS Word, etc onto all of them. I know ImageCast for NT allows you to "cast" an image that is not VFAT or NTFS so you could probably do it with that program, but you'd be best off to do it with dd. You could add the drive to an already running system and use dd to duplicate the drive. Look it up in the man pages. -Terry At 09:35 AM 10/12/99 +1000, you wrote: >Zoonie, I think you're talking about file mirroring, but I think Darren's >talking about disk mirroring, ie redundant disks on the one server. > >Vinum looks good, written by Greg Lehey, author of "the complete freebsd" >(for disk mirroring and other volume management technologies). > >I think rsync is the way to go for file mirroring. > >cheers >jesse > >At 7:29 PM -0400 11/10/1999, zoonie wrote: >>funny you should ask, i'm looking into the same thing. there are a few >>mirroring packages in the ports collection that work with ftp and look >>kinda decent going by the description but one of them has a security >>problem that was just posted to bugtraq recently. that package is mirror >>2.9. i searched through the mailing lists and found out about a package >>called rsync that is SSH aware and i'm in the process of installing it to >>try it out. if anybody else has any suggestions please let us know... >> >>On Tue, 12 Oct 1999, OrbitalNet Office wrote: >> >> > Hi, does anyone know of a Disk mirroring system for FreeBSD, for example >> > like the "Symantec Ghost" for PC? >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > Thanks in advance >> > Darren Brown >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >> > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message >> > >> >> >> >>To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >>with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message > > >-- > Jesse Reynolds - Virtual Artists Pty Ltd - http://www.va.com.au > - http://virtual.artists > Mobile: (+61) 0414 669 790 > Faxmail: (+61) 02 9776 3594 Virtual Community Engine > Email: jesse (at) va.com.au http://www.vce.net > ?: http://jesse.va.com.au huh?: Content Management System > ICQ: 4766684 & Application Server for > Timezone: GMT +10:00 Hrs MacOS Webservers (W*API) > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
