Full Discussion: Move OS to storage disk
Operating Systems Linux Move OS to storage disk Post 303019012 by rbatte1 on Thursday 21st of June 2018 06:51:07 AM

When you say 'storage', what do you actually mean? Do you mean something more like 'boot from SAN provided disk' perhaps, or 'boot from USB device' or something else?

Do you mean take a backup you can boot/restore from? (Like the lovely AIX mksysb, HP Ignite and the Solaris one) You might have more joy searching for threads like this:- Mksysb Equivalent For Linux?


Can you confirm what you actually want to achieve and what hardware you are running on (or virtualisation manager)



Regards,
Robin

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device). The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used. OPTIONS
-N, --inodes number Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition. -V, --vname label Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used. -F, --fname name Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used. -v, --verbose Explain what is being done. -c This option is silently ignored. -l This option is silently ignored. -h, --help Display help text and exit. -V, --version Display version information and exit. Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option. EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong. SEE ALSO
mkfs(8) AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. util-linux July 2011 MKFS.BFS(8)
