[OSR-devel] Copying the iSCSI root FS

[Gordan B. <go...@bo...>]

I finally have everything working as I want it. Apart from one thing - I 
was expecting to have /boot on iSCSI/GFS as well, which is now not going 
to happen.

So I want to end up using /dev/sdb whole for the root GFS. My plan is to 
make another SAN partition, mount it via iSCSI, tar the contents across, 
change cluster.conf and build a second initrd to boot it (for testing - 
before I blow away the original GFS root).

Is there anything special that I should pay attention to during this 
exercise? Will tar (or cp -ax as per the original local->SAN copy in 
the docs) pick up everything that is required (e.g. cdsl stuff)? What will 
I have to re-do manually afterwards to make the new image bootable?

Thanks.

Gordan

P.S.
Will post the iSCSI enabling mods in a bit.
