Hi, I've been using clonezilla for some time now. We have a very globally distributed network and as such sometimes the tftp servers are not as performant as they might be. We see timeouts etc etc. I would like to remove the loading of the clonezilla image from the tftp servers and have it locally but still select clonezilla from the pxe menu loading vmlinuz etc locally.. I know it sounds convoluted but I think it might work. Currently I use something like this https://www.clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=./clonezilla-live/doc/07_Customized_script_with_PXE/00_customized_script_with_PXE.doc...

Thanks Steven that worked perfectly.

Hi, I want to install git on the latest version of clonezilla, which incidentally is a great product. I'm following the instructions here https://clonezilla.org/create_clonezilla_live_from_scratch.php but running into an issue that eoan doesnt have a release file. I cant proceed to the next steps without that, what are my options? Thanks, Andrew

Thanks for the reply Stephen. I think I've made a little more progress but I think the issue now is that I'm trying to restore a partition to a system that the partition didn't come from. I think if I were able to change the UUID of /dev/sda3 in this case I might stand a chance. Is that option available ? To give you a little more context we make the image from 1 golden system and deploy it to many others. Historically we have used the entire disk but I think it would be helpful to save one partition...

Hi, We are using clonezilla and I think it works well, thanks. We have been making a golden system and then restoring that same image to other machines and then changing the hostname etc with ocs_postrun. If I restore an entire disk everything works great. ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -j2 -scr -p reboot restoredisk someimage sda However we want to save a partition for persistent data, I want to save sda2. cat /tmp/sda-pt.sf label: dos label-id: 0x000be814 device: /dev/sda unit: sectors /dev/sda1...

Hi Steven, Firstly I love clonezilla so thanks for your efforts. I have many images but sometimes I need to modify 1 or 2 files in the image. I currently use a post install script to make these minor modifications but I'd really like to be able to mount the image, modify, add or remove any files I need to and then unmount the image and use it again. Can I do that ? Is there a supported process or script ? Ultimately I'd like to do away without using a post install script. Thanks, Andrew

Hi, I've been able to mount a clonezilla partition based on this. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=287558 but I can't see anything for taring that partition up again so we can use those modifications. As far as I'm aware there's a checksum to be created too. Can someone point me to how I would go about modifying an image ? I just need to make a one line change and dont want to use a postinstall script etc etc. Thanks,
