SystemRescueCD is a Linux system rescue disk for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions. It comes with system tools (parted, partimage, fstools, ...) and basic tools (editors, midnight commander, network tools). It requires no installation. It can be used on Linux servers, Linux desktops or Windows systems. The kernel supports the important file systems (ext2/ext3/ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, btrfs, xfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, iso9660), as well as network filesystems (samba and nfs).

 

Specifications and support information can be found at http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page.

 

We thanks Jelle Maes and Server Boost (a hosting company using LBMP in production on hundreds of servers) for contributing this unsupported recipe.
