403	mondo ignore non system partitions	Chucky	Bruno Cornec	"Hello,

I have system, which contains non standard filesystem partitions (informix data parts). Mondo can't backup them (ofcourse), he ignores them. When I want to clone system, he don't know about these partitions and I have to make them by hand. When cloning multiple machines, it is annoying.
I resolved this by saving (sfdisk -d) for all drives in system, and in modified post-init, if they didn't match current setup, I ask to repartition them. 
I wish mondo can parttion them in the same fashion.

Moreover, it is philosophical that mondo should include two basic modes: restore to original system and clone system.
In restore original, the system ramdisk & bootup process could be used to ensure correct module & device initialization, repartition drives to same configuration with NO questions :).
In clone mode, there could be that nice features like inserting all modules, mountlist resizing and checking, many questions etc.

Thanks
