How do I Clone one fit-PC2 to another

Post by Mongo »

I have about 80 of these devices that I need to image from one that I have completely setup (Ubuntu 9.10 OS, w/8Gb SD).

What is the easiest way to go about copying or cloning the memory card?

I have tried LiveUSB/LiveCD with Ubuntu 9.10 using dd to an .img file, but when I restore it on the new fit-PC2 I get a Out of Memory Grub error when it boots.

Any advice would be appreciated.

1. Check if disk you cloning is indeed your 8GB SSD and not LiveUSB by mistake.
2. Supposing your SSD is /dev/sda:
- Clone whole disk (/dev/sda) and not partition (/dev/sda1)

Code: Select all

sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=8GB.img bs=1M
- Restore disk from image:

Code: Select all

sudo dd if=8GB.img of=/dev/sda  bs=1M
