Cloning Partitions with ufsdump

Best done in single-user mode (ie boot -s)

Example of root:

  • create your new root filesystem with newfs
  • mount the new root filesystem somewhere like /mnt/root and then
    #  ufsdump 0f - / | ( cd /mnt/root ; ufsrestore xf - )

This is a collection of techical information, much of it learned the hard way. Consider it a lab book or a /info directory. I doubt much of it will be of use to anyone else.
