I am trying to clone a system that contains a SAS drive.
Windows says that the controller is Intel 631xESB/6321ESB/3100 chipset Serial ATA Storage Controller 2680
Windows says the drive is ST37345SS SCSI Disk Device.
Clonezilla Live cannot see the device. When I go into Dev directory, it does see a SDA drive but that is the IDE drive that also exists in the system. I have tried various versions of Clonezilla including the testing version of Ubuntu, but it still fails to see the drive. I believe it is a Kernel thing, but I don't think I'm linux smart enough to rebuild the kernel and rebuild Clonezilla. Can you help?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I used the command lspci -tv and see that the controller device is found under linux so I believe it may not be a kernel thing now. When I check the dev directory, I do see an sg0, and sg1. If I create a mount directory and type mount /dev/sg0 sg0 it says its not a block device. Same for sg1. Any help would be appreciated.

Which version of Clonezilla live did you use?
If it's not the latest one, how about giving Clonezilla live 1.2.10-2 or 20110727-oneiric a try?
They come with linux kernel 3.0.0 and might support your hardware.

I have tried all of the current versions of Clonezilla. The most recent that I tried was 20120326-oneiric. I also tried 1.2.12-37 recently. I can't seem to get any version of Clonezilla to see the SAS drives. The motherboard is a SuperMicro X8DA6 and the onboard SAS controller is a LSISAS2008.

Is it very new?
Did you try Clonezilla live 1.2.12-51? It comes with Linux kenrel 3.2.15 and maybe support your SAS.
If it's still can not see your SAS drives, do you know any version of GNU/Linux supports that?

I tried Clonezilla live 1.2.12-51. It could only see the PATA drive and did not identify any other drives that I could see in the dev folder. It did correctly identify the SAS controller as Adaptec AIC-9410 based on lspci. I later used the newest live version of SUSE and I could see and read both drives. I also used CentOS 6.2 live to identify both of the drives correctly. CentOS could not read either of the drives because the cd-live version does not support NTFS. Any ideas?

This is weird… If CentOS 6.2 supports that, how come newer kernel does not support it, unless it's a 3-party kernel module provided by CentOS.
Have you ever tried Clonezilla live 20120426-precise?
