Hello there,

does anybody know, if the above mentioned HowTo (build for SME 6.0b3) works on a SME 6.0.1-01 server?

Any comments and experiences welcome.

Yes - works

...you might however use rpmfind for newer version.

- Do check at least one bare metal mondo restore.
Mondo does have issues with partition naming on SMEs that have been installed on top of an previous version of itself or another linux distro.
(I believe this was discussed here (quite) some time ago)

It works great on 6.0.1

The rpms in the package work for certain, but there may be newer features you want/need in later versions.

The naming thing is covered in the howto.

I use this religiosly on all my SME's.

It's the best thing since sliced bread.

The naming problem can be avoided by checking the fstab on the live machine and changing the labels (using e2label) so that the partitions are:

/
/boot

And not /1 /boot1 (or anything else)

I particularly like it because I can set up a box with a 10 gig hd - then install a 40 gig and nuke it with the mondo CD and it'll automatically re-allocate the HD to fill it up. (great for upgrading storage capacities)

I also use it here at home - and when I create a mondo set - it takes 13 CD's - but - my system crashed 2 days ago - and I restored the 13 CD's and all is right now.
