ALL these machines are absolutely identical except for IP address and machine name. To speed up the adding of new machines, I envision making a duplication station, where I would add a "new" disk as a slave and then dup the master disk to the slave disk. Then I would only have to change IP and machine name. But alas, I cannot find any procedures for doing this. Does anyone know how to duplicate a master disk to a "new" slave disk??? It would REALLY make my life much easier. BTW, We are running 3.2. Yea, I know it's ancient but we have added significant kernel hacks to support specialized ATN and X.25 protocols and don't envision upgrading until we get our modifications completed. Any insight would be appreciated. Mike Smith (but not THE Mike Smith) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
