SMR Flash Disk Cloning

2012 version with Xubuntu 12.04

Clone image to (new) disk

Make a new bootable disk from existing image:

Use clone-xubuntu and clone-databar on smr24 (room 011) as root in /root, where available images are in the images subdirectory.

Make new boot image

Update image on one of the 4GB sticks, then make new imagefile

  • put 4GB stick on another linux (with GRUP installed)
  • mount the disk on a local directory as root, e.g.:
sudo bash
mkdir -p disk
mount /dev/sdb1 disk
  • copy everything on disk to an image file (it takes several minutes):
cd disk
tar -czf ../image/smrXubuntu20120715.tar.gz *
cd ..
umount disk
