rsync works great on production enviroments, We had paravirtualized some servers with these method:  rsync -ave ssh –exclude=/proc –exclude=/sys –exclude=/dev (if you are using udev) root@runingserver:/  /mnt/newserverimage/ after this:  mkdir /mnt/newserverimages/proc  mkdir /mnt/newserverimages/sys  mkdir /mnt/newserverimages/dev  review your fstab, and copy the kernel modules:  cp -pr /lib/modules/2.6.16-xenU /mnt/newserverimages/lib/modules/  more or less …. this is the way  Also

The “maxphys” kernel parameter limits the max. I/O size in the SCSI layer.Default is 128k.The “vol_maxio” kernel parameter limits the max. I/O size in the VxVM layer(if installed). Default is 256k.The “md_maxphys” kernel parameter limits the max. I/O size in theDiskSuite/SVM layer (if installed). Default is equal to maxphys.The “sd_max_xfer_size” module parameter limits the max.
