I have a tested copy of EL6 that I would like to duplicate to a number of similar servers, but can't seem to find a sane howto on the subject. TLDP's "Hard disk upgrade howto" is embarrassingly antiquated: when's the last time you saw LILO?
*I* still use LILO, even with my CentOS 5.6 systems.
What's the recommended procedure for doing an HDD copy/upgrade from one disk to another? Is there a nice, detailed howto that explains this in detail?

My set up is pretty straight forward. My partitions are all set up as simple partitions, with UUID's in /etc/fstab. I'm not using LVM or RAID.
Any ideas?
