Re: Possible to 'Ghost' an OpenBSD Drive

["Gabe Kangas" <gkangas_(_at_)_real-ity_(_dot_)_com>]

There's a doc on the OpenBSD FAQ on the web site... i had the same thing I
wanted to do.  It's listed under "how to copy a filesystem" and you just do
that with all your filesystems.  I went from a 1gig single fs drive, to a
13gig 4 fs drive, and it worked great.  There are an option to using
dump/restore and tar.  I tried both, and tar seemed faster... but it's up to
you.

Hope this helps.
