I'm running a series of experiments tweaking my Debian install.
The procedure I wish to follow is:
0. Primary partition will have a normal install and will NOT
be modified
Grub2 installed to a second primary partition
1. install a minimal system to a logical partition
2. "clone" that partition to four additional logical partitions
3. Tweak the copies to have unique
a. hostname
b. partition label
c. UUID
Running dd from the "master" on the primary partition satisfies
"cloning" function.
Labeling partition done easily with gparted etc.
Hostname can be set in /etc/hostname .
How can I have each of the "clones" have a unique UUID. All
partitions will be bootable and I suspect Grub could have problems.
The test machine is physically isolated and will be only for this
test - i.e. no security concerns.
TIA
A bit too obvious, probably, but can the testing not be done in a vm ?
Primarily personal preference.
Anyway, I you want to the the UUID, you should be able to do that with
garted.
Although mentioned on http://gparted.org, it doesn't appear to be
available with version shipped with Squeeze.
