Hi, I am using clonezilla-live to backup a linux OS to an image, then restore it to another hard disk. (Testing in preparation for, hopefully, a network installation onto many PCs)
I install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the disk at /dev/sda. sda1 is root and sda2 is swap. Grub goes on /dev/sda1, NOT the MBR. (I have good reasons for doing this). Then I boot Clonezilla Live via PXE. I am able then to image sda1 to a temporary hard disk. Then I swap out the source hard disk for a blank one, and partition it similarly to the source one (sda1 root, sda2 swap). Following that I boot Clonezilla Live and enter the command shell. I mount the disk with the image with it onto /home/partimag. I run this command next: /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-sr -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -k -p true -g /dev/sda1 -t restoreparts 2012-04-05-13-img sda1 In theory grub should be installed to /dev/sda1. However, I get the following message: The boot loader on /dev/sda is not grub. Skip running grub-install! I am unable to find out why this is so. Nothing in /var/log has anything grub-related in there, so far as I can tell. I can manually install grub to the root partition by doing this: mkdir /a mount /dev/sda1 /a mount --bind /dev /a/dev mount --bind /dev/pts /a/dev/pts mount --bind /proc /a/proc mount --bind /sys /a/sys chroot /a bin/bash [chroot] grub-install --force /dev/sda1 It's not ideal, because I'd like to be able to boot Clonezilla and restore images automatically. Is there any way I can get the ocs-sr command do what I want?
