Though I can not answer OP's question, I have question of my own. Is this really routine (often) task for Linux sysadmins? I used something like that to replicate cluster nodes in the past, but kickstart would be routine task for me. dump/restore sounds like routine from MS Windows world (I hear they "re-image" system if something goes wrong ;-) Am I wrong? Do we in Linux world do this routinely? Valeri > I usually use dump/restore commands. However, I’m having trouble to handle installing bootloader and creating initramfs for C7 system.
