Howto clone xfs partitions ? (upload and download, multicast)

[zeltron80]

Hi,

Is there a way to clone zfs partitions ? It seems fog clones them as RAW, what’s is not the most efficient protocol
I didn’t find anything about that, except a topic from ianabc mentionning a “fog-upload-xfs-support.patch.txt” file you can’t access (no link)
The goal is to download/upload, using multicast

Thank you for your answer

I don’t believe partclone (the imaging system used) supports zfs yet.

Sorry,

Sorry, I made a mistake… should not work on sunday morning
I meant xfs, and not zfs…

@zeltron80 As we use partclone to do the imaging we depend on what filesystem support they provide: http://partclone.org/about/ (unfortunately no ZFS yet)

Hi,

As you can see in my last post on this thread, I made a mistake : I’m talking about xfs, not zfs (I post a reply to fix this mistake, and changed the title of my question )

Thanks.

@zeltron80 I’ve added xfs file type, as a guess mostly, so FOG should be able to upload the files. We cannot use xfs in a resizable state…currently. Please update and see if things are better.

Thank you. I’'ll take a look tomorrow, and I update this post

Any update for this?

My quick test with build 8599 of capturing CentOS 7.2.1511 as:

/sda1 Boot xfs
/sda2 Swap swap
/sda3 / ext4

… it captured and deployed fine.
