Mit "partimage" gibt's 'was Langweiliges:

2.2 Can I restore it to a smaller or bigger partition ?

... but it's possible to restore to a lager one. In this case, *some space will be lost* (I suppose the OS cannot use all the size). Partimage don't have a resize feature, but you can use other tools. ...

Mit "tar" bist du viel schneller, wenn du das Restore auf eine größere Partition durchführen musst.

daf"ur gibt's parted oder qtparted. augen zu und durch ...

Scheint leider das selbe Problem wie partimage zu haben:

<QUOTE url="http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/g4u/#disks">

5.4 A word on disk sizes

~ The question how g4u deals with different disk sizes arises a lot too. The general answer is, g4u works best with identical disk sizes & geometry. Putting an image from a small disk on a big disk works, putting an image from a big disk to a small disk is likely to cause problems.

~ If you cannot avoid preparing an image on a big disk that'll get deployed to a small disk later, make sure the "extra" space is not occupied by a active partition or filesystem, else data loss is very likely to occur!

~ If you intend to deploy a "small" image to a "big" disk, the extra space that's not covered by g4u can be used for creating a partition and a filesystem. You will have to do that on your own, e.g. using your operating systems' post installation steps.

Es scheint, dass das gute alte tar, den besten Dienst macht ;)

Interessant ist auch die Möglichkeit ein System mit Hilfe von tar und netcut übers Netz zu streamen! Das ermöglicht es ein "Image" an mehreren Rechnern gleichzeitig zu verteilen!
