Has anyone tested this on PowerPC or thought of XFS?
Does anyone have any experience testing partimage-ng on PowerPC? We have need for a decent, stable Ghost-like system. We've previously used old versions of Partimage (0.5.x and 0.6.x series) with reasonable results (and a few explosions along the way) for imaging large quantities of systems (16 at a time, in batches of 60 per day, over 3 days was the record) during production.
The idea of not having to mess around with partitioning anymore in partimage-ng is turning my head. I currently have hacked up a script using parted batch mode, but it has a terrible time rounding partition sizes (and will not automatically round a size and create a partition at the same time, so you cannot use it non-interactively).
We do need XFS support though, is it possible to implement libxfs support the same way as libext2 and libntfs has been used? Or is there a limitation? Could we simply zero out the disk, copy the files in, then image it with compression for the same sort of effect (and xfs_grow afterwards to make the xfs filesystem fill the partition)?
