[SOLVED ... apart from the Arch bit] NSLU2, backup & Arch

Hi All,

I run a little Linksys NSLU2 storage link for USB drives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2 for files backup, music server, weather station etc. etc. This is a great, low power consumption device, which currently runs off Debian on a pendrive.

Two questions to those who know better than myself.  (1) What is the simplest way of 'carbon copy' replicating the pendrive contents, including partitions, for a backup of the system. (2) Anyone fancy producing an Arch version of the system?

Cheers!

Ian Sutherland

OK sorted ..... made a carbon-copy of the USB drive with Ghost for Linux (G4L).

I also have an NLSU2. Currently I have debian installed on it, but I would love to work on porting Arch. Are you still interested in attempting?

I'm also intersted in a Arch solution for the NSLU2! (and also under the debian solution) --> subscribed to that topic...

I'm also intrested in running arch on NSLU2 ... I currently use the version explained by gargi (gargi.org) but fail2ban doesn't work corrently ... and as I love archlinux pretty much so ... if anybody is able to explain how to create a firmware for this item I would be pretty happy to get this :-)
