Not sure if it will work in a RAID setup, but the Linux world has partimage, to image partitions. I still haven't had a chance to test it, but it is supposed to work with NFS shares, partition to partition and disk to disk. There may be something in the RaidTools package that will do what you want.

I have 2 raid 5 systems that I need to install to be identical. I was hoping someone might know of a way to install and configure the first, and then clone it over the network. Yes, I could use ghost, but I was hoping there was a nice way of doing it with Linux utilities. I read about using a rescue disk and a floppy with netcat to use dd, but I am not sure that is the easiest way. Suggestions?

Cool, I will check that out and see if it helps...thanks.

Could you just tar up the system boot to a live cd mount / and untar?

For the reasons Brian Kelsay mentioned, I would rather use ghost than tar, but was hoping to not have to resort to ghost.
Thanks,
