I need to clone a Red Hat 7.3 host into a VM.
I'm working with http://www.tienhuis.nl/archives/17
The physical machine has two partitions, one for / and one for /home So I partitioned the disk in the VM similarly. But rsync was ignoring the excluded file. So I repartitioned (yes, including reboots) to one large partition, but the Ubuntu CD is still showing my /dev/sda1 as 2.9 GB not the 15.5Gb that fidsk and gparted show.
Do I need to destroy and recreate the VM? And what do I need to do to make rsync recognize and use the excluded file?
