Re: [Clonezilla-live] How to Clone Only Some Partitions From Source Linux Disk?
In that case, you can clone that 3 times. I.e., clone 1st partition, then 2nd partition, and 3 partition. You can use the command line to do that. When you finish the 1st one, it prompts a green command, and you can just replace the source and destination partitions in that command.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] NTLM, Kerberos, and Microsoft
Hi James, Thanks for your feedback. Actually we are not familiar with MS Windows. Do you know any GNU/Linux docs that address the issue you mentioned? It would be great if the samba doc is specially for Debian or Ubuntu. Regards, Steven On 2024/4/7 22:18, James Epp wrote: Thought I'd throw this thought into the wild for anyone to pick up and run with. This doesn't directly affect me. In Clonezilla today (3.1.2-9) when setting up a connection to a SMB share for device-image mode, it prompts for a security mode (auto vs ntlm). What auto actually does under the hood is a bit unclear. At least in Microsoft land (and I'm not a good person to speak on Windows auth internals), you have three authentication methods - Negotiate, Kerberos, and NTLM. NTLM is then broken down into NTLM2 and NTLM1 (hopefully no one is using NTLM1 these days). Negotiate tries Kerberos first and fallsback to NTLM2 if Kerberos fails. Microsoft recently made announcements that they're going to try to phase out NTLM entirely from Windows. This could impact Clonezilla users who use Microsoft SMB shares. At some point in the future - by default - Kerberos may be the only method for authentication, and it's not clear if Clonezilla supports Kerberos for authentication today. Obviously this can turn into a rabbit hole quickly - new firewall requirements, time becomes significantly more important, etc etc. I'm not familiar at all with MIT KRB5 on GNU/Linux distros so as mentioned before, I am just throwing this out there for someone who's smarter than I to consider. ___ Clonezilla-live mailing list Clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live -- Steven Shiau Public Key Server PGP Key ID: 4096R/163E3FB0 Fingerprint: EB1D D5BF 6F88 820B BCF5 356C 8E94 C9CD 163E 3FB0 ___ Clonezilla-live mailing list Clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Feature Request for Clonezilla
I do not think we will change that. The reason for using a directory as an image is it's easier for us to expand or add new features. Everything in a directory is so clear and easy to identify its content. In GNU/Linux, a directory is just like a file. If you really need to make them as a single file, just tar it.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla don't speech immediately after selected this feature
Hi Gigi, Did you mean you need the speech for language and keyboard selections? Or did you mean you need that for booting progress?

I have read the Fedora documention but still encounter the same problem. I check the contents of the cloned SDcard and the home directories are there, but the contents of the downloads folder report input/output error. Fedora no longer requires su - account and one uses sudo. I do not understand why root account is locked. I had not had this issue before. The raspiOS boots correctly, the Fedora 38 boots correctly, but the cloned one returns the bootup problems mentioned. No matter what I try I get same error message.

Hi Gigi, Not sure if the Linux kernel does not support your hardware, or it's due to your hardware requires proprietary firmware. I tested 3.0.2-6 and it works on my old laptop. However, it does not work with my new laptop. I will do more tests to find why.

I did the test and clonezilla detected LUKS and all my LV. Result is similar than whole disk nvme0n1 except it didn't clone nvme0n1p1/2/3/4 of course. It isn't what I'm looking for though... Of course, I could save all my LV and then delete the ones I don't want (here myLvmHome and myLvmRoot) but it's really not optimized (more time-consuming and more temporary space needed on backup drive). It could be really great if clonezilla can clone specific LVs only. If this is already the case, please tell me what I missed because nowhere I can choose LV (only disks or classic parts under the ncurse interface) and if I force my LV name under the shell then the whole LVM is shutdown just before and my LV not recognized hence. Clonezilla actually does not support choosing LV only. No matter it's on a unencrypted partition or on LUKS partition. Hence so far you can only choose the partition which contains LV to save the image. NB: is there a way to ask clonezilla to save a full log or am I supposed to pipe its output to `tee`? `clonezilla | tee` doesn't work (probably because of the ncurse interface). However, I've noticed that clonezilla log (more exactly: ocs-sr log) is saved under /var/log/clonezilla.log. Good. Suggestion: I think there is a message at the very end of ocs-sr saying that log is saved there. But it disappears very quickly. Maybe you could add a stop after this message (like "press Enter to continue...")? Will think about this.

Booting VPS with Clonezilla, imnage to be stored via ssh to my local OpenSuse PC, at home. Finally to an external USB hdd. Images are additionaly, to regular delta-based rsnapshot backups. File systems are all ext4, except small boot partition. Recognized that Clonezilla is able to send only data for "used" disk space via network, for unecrypted disks, makes it much faster. Had to image my company laptop, win10, encrypted hdd, all NTFS, once. 1 TB hdd, only 300+ GB in use. Not 100% sure, but AFAI remember Clonezilla sent all 1 TB. But I'm sure that clonezilla didn't ask for a passphrase to unlock. Reasonable, as some proprietary enc. solution on that laptop. My question, not tested: For an encrypted (LUKS) hdd on Linux, LVM/EXT4, is Clonezilla also sending the while disk via network? Or unlocking first before imaging, and sending only the used blocks?

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Recovery suddenly stops, after 20+h normal working
So the issue is due to the USB disk went to sleep mode? If so, any idea how to force your VM to stop doing that? Not sure if newer Linux kernel helps, but you can give Clonezilla live >= 2.7.0-10 or 20201102-groovy a try. They have newer Linux kernels.

This release of Clonezilla live (2.6.4-10) includes major enhancements and bug fixes. ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.6.3-7 The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Oct/24). Linux kernel was updated to 5.3.7-1. Update Brazilian Portuguese translation. Thank to Rafael Fontenelle for updating that. Ref: https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/drbl/merge_requests/13 An option "-ps" or "--play-sound" was added in expert mode so that when Clonezilla job is done, a sound can be played. Thanks to David McCracken for suggesting this. Add an option -icol for ocs-live-feed-img which can be used to skip checking the running environment is Clonezilla live or not. Add a Singularity recipe sample file singularity-debian-ocs.def which can be used to create a Singularity image. BUG FIXES Only mail the results of Clonezilla job to root as MTA is running.

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live 2.6.3-7 Released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.6.3-7) includes major
enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.6.2-15
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of
2019/Sep/03).
Linux kernel was updated to 5.2.9-2.
Partclone was updated to 0.3.13+git0819-2f1830e-drbl1.
Remove zfs-fuse since it's too old. The support for zfs
mounting using openzfs can be found in Ubuntu-based Clonezilla
live >= 20190903 releases.
Package partclone-utils was updated with new upstream on
Aug/29/2019: https://github.com/prekageo/partclone-utils
Modify parameters about BT in drbl-ocs.conf: Use
gen-torrent-from-ptcl (ezio-ptcl) to create torrent file from
torrent.info, not using transmission-create anymore. This could
save a lot of time when the source image is big.
Remove "-t 3 -k 60" from ezio_seeder_opt, i.e., keep ezio
seeder in the server all the time until it's killed by
ocs-live-feed-img stop.
Add a new sample program custom-ocs-3.
BUG FIXES
Package live-tools was updated to 20190627. The issue about
poweroff/reboot should have been fixed: failed to execute
shutdown binary freezing execution.
Add thin-provisioning-tools in drbl/clonezilla live packages
list, and device-mapper-persistent-data in the PKG_TO_QUERY of
drbl.conf. Thanks to Tseng Wynn (wynn1212 _at_ gmail com) for
reporting this bug.
Fix a typo in zh_TW.UTF-8. Thanks to Chih-Hsuan Yen:
https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/drbl/merge_requests/12
Avoid torrent.info created by Partclone being included in the
torrent file. This should solve the issue:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_server_edition/thread/15c3efbffa
and
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/aba35adf97
Separate 32-bit and 64-bit syslinux when running makeboot.sh.
Thanks to Martin Mokrejs for reporting this issue. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/326/
Update the mechanism to generate new machine-id for restored
GNU/Linux. Thanks to Peter Sun for reporting the issue and
providing the solution.
Add option -iui for ocs-onthefly, and implement the
ocs-update-initrd for restored GNU/Linux.
Bug fixed: the source IP address for disk to remote disk was
not shown in the source (server) side when there is one NIC
configured.

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (2.6.2-15) Released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.6.2-15) includes major
enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.6.1-25
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of
2019/Jul/07).
Linux kernel was updated to 4.19.37-5.
Package live-config was updated to 5.20190519.drbl1.
Make sure label will have one name only in
update-efi-nvram-boot-entry.
Improve the mechanism to update uEFI nvram boot entry. It's
the same way as boot-local-efi.cfg.
Default to run ocs-update-initrd for the restored OS when
running ocs-sr. This helps to make initramfs work for
different hardware, especially the GNU/Linux distribution
which uses dracut, e.g., CentOS. The option "-iui" can be used
for ocs-sr to ignore running ocs-update-initrd.
Language files were updated: ca_ES, de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR,
hu_HU, it_IT, ja_JP, pl_PL, and tr_TR. Thanks to René Mérou,
Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois
Nifenecker, Greg Hefty, Gianfranco Gentili, Akira YOSHIYAMA,
Kris, and Volkan Gezer.
The boot menu was sorted. KMS with large font (for HiDPI
monitor) is now at 1st level with hotkey "l". Two more menus
were added in uEFI boot menu: 1. uEFI firmware setup 2.
Clonezilla live version info
The mechanism to search local OS on the 1st hard drive of
uEFI machine was updated. Now the OS name can be shown in the
boot menu if it's found.
Package rdfind was added in Clonezilla live.
BUG FIXES
To avoid ezio quits too quickly on server side, add option
"-t 1 -k 60" when starting ezio.
No need to press enter when batch mode is off about warning
MBR disk > 4 TB.
Package live-boot was updated to 1:20190627-drbl1, which
uses ntfs-3g instead of kernel module ntfs.ko to mount the
file system. Ref:
https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-boot/commit/9d6ee1504a8ec6d1f386b12be24113df9c23a6b0
In addition, it also addresses this memdisk issue:
https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-boot/commit/b3a1cb85646f363ab5c4d7b045000ef6dbf33699,
and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/issues/50 live-boot
was patched to fix an DNS issue in initramfs:
https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-boot/commit/ed2bc296f8d113e2bb3aa702e2ababd1bcfd64ac
Package live-tools was patched
https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-tools/commit/7b0ed1e19034925fd0a17626b5b561f24fd5d291
This would avoid systemd shutdown/reboot failure. Otherwise
when live-medium eject is run, it would cause an error when
shutting down or rebooting: failed to execute shutdown binary
freezing execution

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (2.6.1-25) Released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.6.1-25) includes major enhancements and bug fixes. ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.6.0-37 The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Apr/20). From this release the AMD64 version works for uEFI secure boot. Linux kernel was updated to 4.19.28-2. Partclone was updated to 0.3.12+git00e0212. Package ezio-static was updated to 1.1.8. Package vbetool was added. Thanks to Joerg Schiermeier for asking this Package mbmon was added. Add USB NIC modules in initramfs of live system. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_server_edition/thread/de7c4f810a/ A new mode for Clonezilla lite server was added: massive deployment from raw device using bittorrent mechanism. About the usage, please check https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/12_lite_server_BT_from_dev. For Clonezilla lite sever, change ezio_seeder_extra_opt as ezio_seeder_opt. Add two more options: ezio_leecher_opt and ezio_common_opt in drbl-ocs.conf. These three options can also be overwritten if it's assigned in boot parameters. Assign "-t 1" for ezio_leecher_opt so that ezio will timeout in 1 min. Add nuttcp as an alternative to netcat in ocs-onthefly. Add dialog for choosing compression algorithm in expert mode. Option "-u" was added in the dialog of expert mode to use nuttcp. To avoid OOM killer to kill ezio, we use the multi torrent files support (ezio >= 1.1.6) and limit the cache size. It can be tuned by ezio_cache_ratio in drbl-ocs.conf. Add a mechanism to reuse image for BT from raw device mode. The option -mdst-img can be used to assign the existing pseudo image. BUG FIXES Can't create disk image if swap is provided by logical volume listed in crypttab. Thanks to Constantino Michailidis for providing the patch file. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/314/ Add sleep .1 before cat /proc/partitions to file. Thanks to Zibarov Volodymyr.

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (2.6.0-37) Released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.6.0-37) includes major
enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.5.6-22
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of
2019/Jan/08).
Linux kernel was updated to 4.19.13-1.
Partclone was updated to 0.3.12+gitfeb58af.
Package ldmtool and haveged were added.
Package curl was added. Thanks to andrew441973 for asking
this.
Package network-manager was added so that user can use "nmtui"
to configure network if it's necessary, especially for wifi.
Make unknown fs as "dd", and the image name for partition
like: sda3.dd-img.aa is now a legacy. It's replaced by
sda3.dd-ptcl-img.lzma.aa. Rewrite the same mechanism in
ocs-onthefly.
In addition to massive-deployment mode, the interactive-client
mode was added so that lite server can provide the ability to
enter interactive mode of Clonezilla live in the clients.
Let live-build 20180618 handle uEFI boot, so
ocs-put-signed-grub2-efi-bldr and ocs-gen-grub2-efi-bldr are
deprecated. The changes:
/boot/grub/efiboot.img is /boot/grub/efi.img now.
/EFI/boot/grub.cfg is moved to /boot/grub/grub.cfg now.
Temporarily disable dislocker-find in ocs-get-part-info due to
some issues: (1) It's broken in Debian Sid:
https://bugs.debian.org/906430; (2)
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/e1264596
BUG FIXES
To RAM option should also copy EFI dir so that the recovery
iso/zip script works. Thanks to Mr. Brandon Lancaster for
reporting this issue.
Not to check source device busy in network mode for
ocs-onthefly. Thanks to Xuewen Wang for providing this patch.
Ref: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/pull/42
Blacklist Dell machine for update-efi-nvram-boot-entry due to
these issues:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/9fc9c4dee3/
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/76ba35a226/
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/310/
Thanks to Stefan Zipprich, alandy, and MRadu for reporting
this issue.
A workaround to avoid TERM "xterm-256color" crashing
Partclone: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/305/.
Thanks to Laurent B for reporting this.
Return code for checksum was wrong. Thanks to Korver.Kirk
(Kirk.Korver _at_ IGT com) for reporting this. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/mailman/message/36454003/
Failed to create correct files for BT mechanism when the file
system is in dd mode. This bug was introduced when
".dd-ptcl-img." file
format was added.
Stop using "--allowed_dir" for ocs-bttrack in ocs-btsrv,
otherwise it made starting tracker very slow when there are huge
number of files in the dir.
Failed to detect lzma compression for the partition image file
$pt.dd-img.aa. Thanks to Phil P. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/307/.
Remove "-i" from fatresize options in ocs-resize-part. Thanks
to MaDaTyGo for reporting this. Ref:
https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/41
Program ocs-chkimg should keep the ocs_sr_mode in
/var/lib/clonezilla/ocs-vars so that ocs-live-run-menu can read
it. This can avoid dialog be run without waiting for user to
press enter. Thanks to Grant Chapman (grantdchapman _at_ gmail
com) for reporting this issue.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Cloning Windows 10 OEM
Yes. Clonezilla can do that for you. However, you have to deal with the license issue, and the drivers on the restored machines. In addition, it's recommended to install sysprep from MS before you take an image.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] problems with clonezilla-live by pxe

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (2.5.5-38) Released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.5.5-38) includes major enhancements and bug fixes. ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES * The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2018/Mar/30). * Linux kernel was updated to 4.15.11-1. * Partclone was updated to 0.3.11-drbl3 with some libraries updated. //NOTE// New image format is used in this release. It is different from the one saved by Partclone 0.2.x. * New massive deployment mechanism bittorrent was added. //NOTE// Clonezilla has to convert the original image to the special format when bittorrent mode is used. This will require more disk space in the image repository. * Switch keymap configuration method from console-data to keyboard-configuration. Ref: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=893612 * Update language files de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, hu_HU, ja_JP, it_IT, tr_TR and sk_SK. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Greg Hefty, Akira YOSHIYAMA, ianfranco Gentili, Volkan Gezer and Ondrej Dzivy Balucha. * Add channel bonding option when configuring network. Thanks to panther_1 for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/61/ * Make prep-ocsroot can use disk block device (e.g., /dev/sdc) as image repository. Thanks to Riksoft for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/288/ * Add options -pe and -pfe to ocs-sr. This allows user to enter password in the command options although it's not safe. Thanks to ub2 _at_ gmx ch for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/d3af2134 * New compression lz4/lz4mt (-z8/-z8p) and zstd/pzstd (-z9/-z9p) were added in expert mode. * Make ocs-chnthn work for device name like /dev/nvme0n1p1. This change should really fix the issue reported here: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/30 * Remove "-p 16" for pigz in drbl-ocs.conf. It should let pigz to decide that automatically. * Package drbl-chntpw is no more used, and now we switch to use reged from package chntpw. * The file efiboot.img has been moved to /boot/grub/ from /EFI/image from /EFI/image/. * Add a workaround to make dnsmasq relay work for uEFI network boot clients. i.e., we have to assign the tftp server IP address in grub network boot loader. This is only necessary when dnsmasq is used to relay the DHCP request from clients to existing DHCP service. Ref: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2017q1/011124.html * Add boot parameter ocs_netlink_timeout so that the network link detection timeout can be assigned for ocs-live-netcfg. * Add an option -cbm to ocs-live-feed-img. Besides, remove boot parameter ocs_litesrv_mode. It's better to assign that in the command line option (-dm) when running ocs-live-feed-img, e.g., ocs-live-feed-img -cbm netboot -dm auto-detect -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -x -j2 -sc0 -p reboot -md multicast --clients-to-wait 1 --max-time-to-wait 300 start myimg sda. * Support using UUID and LABEL as image repository, i.e., local_dev for image repository can be assigned as: dev:///LABEL|UUID|PARTLABEL|PARTUUID=uuid|label. E.g., ocs_repository="dev:///UUID=84b012cc-5a4c-41e2-bf20-620d028072cb" BUG FIXES * Jfbterm should not exit when lite server is running. It would terminate the required service for clients to restore image, especially BT service in non-English environment. * Cnvt-ocs-dev failed to convert EBR (like sda2-ebr). Thanks to killuaDK for reporting this: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/b851e095 * Ocs-chnthn now supports modifying Win10 hostname. Thanks to František Griga for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/100/ * /EFI/centos/grubx64.efi should be before /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla a windows disk from larger drive to asmaller drive?
If you meant "clone", not "image", then actually Clonezilla is not really good at cloning larger disk to smaller one. This is because Clonezilla uses block-based program (Partclone) to clone the file system, not file-based. There is an option to use the option "-k1" in the expert mode for this purpose, however, it's not 100% working.

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (2.4.9-17) Released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.4.9-17) includes major enhancements
and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
* The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release
is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Oct/21).
* Linux kernel was updated to 4.7.8-1.
* Remove "nodmraid" from boot parameters in drbl-ocs.conf. Now
fakeraid/firmware raid is supported.
* Language files hu_HU, ja_JP.UTF-8, de_DE, fr_FR, it_IT, and es_ES
was updated. Thanks to Greg Marki, Akira YOSHIYAMA, Michael Vinzenz,
Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili, Juan Ramón Martínez
and Alex Ibáñez López.
* The drbl/clonezilla live version info will be put in
/etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf, and when an image is saved, the info will be
saved in Info-packages.txt.
* Applied patches from Aaron Burling, so now when mounting image
repository, it is able to browse the directories recursively.
* Force to make timeout of dhclient as 60 secs. Debian uses 60, but
Ubuntu uses 300. Too long. Thanks to Cecile, Adam (Adam.Cecile /at/
hitec lu) for reporting this.
* Add mechanism to detect bitlocker and Microsoft Reserved Partition
(MSR) in ocs-get-part-info.
* Add options -sfsck and -senc in the Clonezilla live interactive menu
for saving image modes. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling /at/
lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
* Ask the post action (choose, reboot, poweroff) before starting
cloning. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling /at/ lkstevens
wednet edu) for this idea.
* Add entry points by using boot parameters ocs_savedisk_prerun,
ocs_saveparts_prerun, ocs_restoredisk_prerun, and
ocs_restoreparts_prerun in ocs-sr. Thanks to Aaron Burling
(aaron_burling /at/ lkstevens wednet edu) for these ideas.
* Boot parameter ocs_overwrite_postaction has higher priority than the
action assigned by option "-p" in ocs-sr, and "-pa" in ocs-onthefly.
The value for ocs_overwrite_postaction is:
[choose|reboot|poweroff]-on-[restoredisk|restoreparts|savedisk|saveparts|clone]
E.g., choose-on-restoredisk means the postaction for restoredisk
will always be choose no matter what is assigned in -p of ocs-sr or
-pa of ocs-onthefly. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling /at/
lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
* Now ocs-live-preload checks if
/opt/{overwrite-all-boot-param,overwrite-part-boot-param} exists
(Downloaded from root of ocs_preload). File overwrite-all-boot-param
is to overwrite the whole /proc/cmdline, while
overwrite-part-boot-param only overwrites part of the variables in
/proc/cmdline. Especially those "ocs_*" parameters. Thanks to Aaron
Burling (aaron_burling /at/ lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea and
providing sample codes.
* Packages dislocker, ext4magic, myrescue, os-prober, powertop were added.
BUG FIXES
* Inform kernel partition changes only when disk is not busy. This
should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/265/
* Replace boot parameter noprompt with noeject since live-boot >= v3
uses noeject, not noprompt.
* Live-boot failed to mount vfat device as the boot media for
Clonezilla live. Thanks to Little Vulpix for reporting this issue.
Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
* Failed to create the checksum files for files in LV, i.e., when
option "-gmf" or "-cmf" is enabled. Thanks to Mircea Dan. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/260/
* Change /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable to 1 when running i686
Linux kernel and the RAM size is larger than 8 GB. Thanks to Little
Vulpix for this suggestion. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
* Clean file system/LVM info before creating partition table. Thanks
to Mircea Dan (byreal /at/ users sf net) and Pete Morris (morrispj
/at/ jmu edu) for reporting this issue. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/254/
* Disable service systemd-timesyncd. Clonezilla live should not change
the system time. Thanks to Rick and rfried for reporting this issue.

First dd the image, then use partclone to save the partitions if the file system is supported by partclone. Of course you can use clonezilla to do that, too. > > And then once it is written, how to I resize the partition to fit the media? First you must have a equal or larger partition size. Once it's written, the resizing depends on the file system. There is a program on Clonezilla live called ocs-resize-part which you can use for this purpose. You can use it like: /usr/sbin/ocs-resize-part /dev/sdc1 to tune the file system on /dev/sdc1 to fit the partition size.

What I mentioned was for legacy BIOS booting. The syslinux, which is used for the boot mechanism in legacy BIOS (MBR), does support FAT, NTFS, EXT, and BTRFS. However, for uEFI, it's better to use FAT.

Clonezilla does not change the partition table type. If the source disk is MBR mode (MSDOS format), then the destination disk will be in MBR mode. If the source is GPT mode, then the destination disk will be GPT mode, too. I do not think your case is modified by Clonezilla.

Hi Michael, OK, cool. It's nice to know now Clonezilla works for you. I have updated the website, not only FAT, but also NTFS will work for the live USB with syslinux. Actually ext2/3/4, or btrfs is also working, but FAT and NTFS works for both GNU/Linux and MS Windows, so I just list these two file systems.

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (2.4.6-25) released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.4.6-25) includes minor
enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of
2016/May/29).
Linux kernel was updated to 4.5.4-1.
Partclone was updated to 0.2.88. Some segfault issues have
been fixed.
Add support for boot parameter ocs_preload*. It can be used to
fetch tarall/zip/sh files from http(s), ftp, tftp, and local URL
then extract to /opt/. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling
_at_ lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea and providing sample
codes.
Add package dos2unix.
Add watch ocs-scan-disk for local block device in
prep-ocsroot.
Make ocs-install-grub work on Opensuse leap 42.
Add an error routine to makeboot.bat and makeboot64.bat.
Thanks to Robert Rubino.
Add new program ocs-match-checksum to match checksum in the
image and files in the block device.
The new example file mdisks-checksum was added. It can be used
to save or restore disk with checksum mechanism enabled.
Especially for deploying multiple disks.
An example gen-rec-iso was added. It could be used to create a
recovery ISO directly from the machine by Clonezilla live.
A new mechanism was added to inspect the files checksum in the
partition. To use it, enable "-gmf" option in expert mode when
saving an image and enable "-cmf" option when restoring image.
For disk to disk clone, use "-cmf" option. Thanks to Scott
Inglis (scottinglis _at_ me com) for this request.
BUG FIXES
Failed to change the host name of MS Windows. Now use iproute2
to get MAC address and IP address info in ocs-chnthn-functions.
Thanks to Richard Stanway for the patch.

Normally it's not directly related to the machine you want to restore. The key is, the restored OS has to support your hardware. With that, you can boot the OS on the different machine after the image is restored. For MS Windows, you'd better to install sysprep before you take an image if you want to restore the image to different hardware.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Saving a broken box with Clonezilla
Hi Michael, Thank you very much for sharing this. It's nice to know Clonezilla rocks for you. As for the restoring image to smaller partition, well, that's really a different story because the imaging engine we have developed, Partclone, is a block-based program. It's not file-based. Therefore there is such a limitation. This is described here: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/25_restore_larger_disk_to_smaller_one.faq#25_restore_larger_disk_to_smaller_one.faq Steven. On 07/31/2015 08:31 PM, Michael Munger wrote: Not sure where to post this, but I wanted to share the love for Clonezilla as well as post a mini-howto where Googler's can find it. After replacing a motherboard, my Debian 8 box would not boot. This is my primary workstation for development, sysadmin stuff, etc... so this was a big deal. The motherboard had to be replaced because it was new (from Amazon), but right out of the box, one of the memory slots was bad. Amazon didn't have anymore stock, so I had to wait... they give you 30 days, and long story short, I had to buy a replacement locally at the last minute to ensure I was able to return the bad board to Amazon. I powered down via a normal shutdown, swapped the new Asus Sabertooth X99 for the old one, put everything back together, and powered on. It wouldn't boot. Of course, I wasted a lot of time unsure about whether or not this was a motherboard problem or a system problem. Since the system had been working fine to that point, I wasted several hours screwing around with secure boot and other options before finally deciding it was probably the OS. Repairing the EFI / boot partition failed. Grub was dead. Nothing worked. Enter Clonezilla. I decided to clone /dev/sda2, my root partition, as a backup, and re-install. I figured: I should be able to re-install, then restore that partition to the root, and get everything back. I cloned /dev/sda2 without issue to two places: a spare internal drive and an external drive (just in case), then reinstalled Debian 8.1. Once it was up and booting, I tried to restore /dev/sda2 from the backup, but the new installation of the OS was 10GB too small, and Clonezilla didn't want to do the restore (Frustrating - Steven, why is that? Old versions of Ghost would let you size / re-size the restore. Why doesn't CZ? ). I powered down, and booted up with a live ISO on USB (Debian 8.1 Live), fired up gparted, and looked at the partition table. I decided I could steal 10GB from the swap partition. So, I delete the swap partition and the root partition, then added them back in with the correct size. (When CZ complained that the root file system partition was too small, it gave me the exact size it used to be, which was very helpful here). Then, I created a swap partition with the remaining space. Now, restoring /dev/sda2 worked without issue. But we still weren't home-free. The restore worked, and the system booted, but it immediately went into emergency mode because Dependency failed for local file system - among other things. I figured it couldn't find the swap partition since I killed the one created at install time. So, via rescue mode, I checked /etc/fstab and compaired the UUIDs there with blkid, and sure enough (as I suspected) the swap partition UUID was different since I had stolen space from the originally installed one. When I deleted it and created a new one, it got a new UUID (as it should have). So, I just changed the UUID value for the swap partition, saved, and rebooted. The system came up without issue, and 5 minutes later, I was writing this email to thank Steven for Clonezilla and put this out there for anyone else Googling around on how to fix a broken system. -- Steven Shiau steven _at_ stevenshiau org Public Key Server PGP Key ID: 4096R/47CF935C Fingerprint: 0240 1FEB 695D 7112 62F0 8796 11C1 12DA 47CF 935C -- ___ Clonezilla-live mailing list Clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Issues with automated restore
Hi Shayan, So on github you have mentioned the issue has been fixed? Or you still have problem for that? Thanks. Steven. On 05/06/2015 08:12 AM, Shayan Eskandari wrote: Hi, I'm trying to make an automated restore clonezilla live, and I've been having some issues. One would be is it possible to make it completely unattended? I've tried noprompt noprompt but still it asks user to say yes to erase the data on the disk. but the major issue is this : https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/5 while making an unattended restore, after restoring the partition, I encounter this error message: |Updating the boot entry 5 by command: efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p -L HD(6,1657BLAHBLAH)File(\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi) -l \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi Could not prepare boot variable: Invalid argument *** Setting network boot in the 1st order of uEFI NVRAM... | and it gets stuck here! if I do a reboot it would not recognize the hard drive any more so nothing boots. However on one try I CTRL+C ed there and went on the command-line mode, I did try the same command (with sudo, otherwise permission error), it gave me the same error and when I removed -L HD(6,1657BLAHBLAH)File(\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi) -l \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi that are just the labels and names, it worked and the system was able to boot up from the restored image. so I narrowed down the issue, i guess it's somewhere here:https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/blob/a80ae5a477c1e124ee87771d0a6f3551ff095efe/sbin/update-efi-nvram-boot-entry#L409 Is there any boot variables to disable what is happening here? or any other workarounds?
