[Voyage-linux] Bug reports

[Stanislav Sinyagin]

I'll have spare CF cards by Thursday, and will be able to reproduce the issue with vmstat. By the way, "top" also showed some strange results, although it did not crash.


In regards to cloning, I just realised, I could do 

dump -f -  /dev/sda1 | restore -f - /dev/hdc1
and then grub install.

As Voyage root system is in readonly mode, cloning from a live system is a safe operation. I was just in a hurry, so thinking was in lower priority :)
