Hi,

                I'm having a weird issue for which I can't get my head around, 
any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to setup a small Clonezilla 
cluster to have 6 servers be managed by a central Clonezilla server. I've setup 
everything and tested with local machines and it seemed to work, then I 
switched to use 1 of the 6 servers (they are still actively used, so I have to 
make sure everything works before switching all of them).

I can save a disk image fine if I don't specify any disk or partition on the 
clonezilla server before rebooting the client, but for some reason, if I 
specify the same device from the server, the client gets an "input device [sda] 
not exist" and image saving aborts. This is annoying as the client machine is 
actually a server in the server room which is not straight-forward to access 
physically, ideally, I will need to perform everything remotely. But even 
worst, since I cannot specify the device from the server, I can't actually 
restore any images because for restoring, device cannot be specified on the 
client.

My servers are all IBMs, running Ubuntu 10 (for now) and the server I'm trying 
to clone is currently using IBM's ServeRAID with a RAID-0 array of 2 disks, 
which show as sda everywhere I can see, even if I output /proc/partitions in 
local mode after image saving as just failed.

Has anyone seen this problem or can anyone provide any hints?

Thanks,

Steve Molloy
