I have multiple computers and would like to install openSuse on all of them. I have one system working the way I desire, and would like to copy it to the other systems. Before btrfs, this was a simple rsync operation. I have posed this question before it terms of performing a backup. Is there any way to duplicate an installation with all of the updates I have installed?
My current plan is to install virgin 13.2 from the distribution media on the target system to establish the btrfs file system and the grub2 files. I was then going to write a script that did an rsync on each of the 13 subpartitions, omitting both the /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi and /boot/grub2/i386-pc subpartitions. If I include --delete and omit -u options in the rsync command, it should remove any new stuff and replace it with my existing code. Is the approach sane and will the following rsync line work? Are there any parts of grub2 that will get clobbered, or do they all reside in the /boot/grub2 subpartitions?
rsync -rlpgovtS --delete "$SRC_DIR" "$DST_DIR/" 2> /dev/null
Thanks, Don Hi You should autoyast it up to SUSE Studio, build a preload image and install....?
