- hoffieThere seems to be an official statement by Red Hat now: https://access.redhat.com/articles/7132207
- > we would need need to recover disk partitions/LVM metadata, boot records, etc. as well as all the data itself.
While other suggested, image-based solutions better fit your bit-for-bit requirement, you might also be interested in ReaR: https://relax-and-recover.org/
ReaR generates a bootable image which performs all that basic partitioning and is able to trigger an actual system/application data file restore using a variety of tools (including borg).
- Red Hat's article on these issues also provides further explanations: https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/tcpsack
- I think this is related to kpatch only being available as of RHEL 7.2 [1] in general. In other words, this must not necessarily be caused by any specifics of the current kernel patches.
