Btw You can also do a |
14 |
mount --bind / /mnt/something |
15 |
and then you will see the "original" root in /mnt/something without any |
16 |
of the other filesystems. This is sometimes better if you want an exact |
17 |
copy, because fex /dev usually has some basic nodes which get covered by |
18 |
the udev's tmpfs, and althought you normally don't need them... ;) |

I "cloned" a few running systems this way (copied it to an usb disk, |
21 |
setup lilo and took the disk to another machine ;) but it was always |
22 |
with mount -o remount,ro / and the systems were minimal (system+few |
23 |
packages, almost nothing running, so it was possible to remount it ro) |
