Does anyone know how to set up a USB jumpdrive so that the restore function is automated?
I used TuxBoot to successfully create the jumpdrive with the Clonezilla Live iso. It boots fine and starts Clonezilla. I've loaded the desired image for restore onto that same jumpdrive. From the Clonezilla-Live-Doc I've read the "Preseed options to do job after booting" and modified the syslinux/syslinux.cfg (for live USB). One of the preseeds seems odd - that is mounting the jumpdrive. If the jumpdrive is already in use via the booting and running of Clonezilla, isn't it already mounted?
Well, something isn't quite right as Clonezilla starts but fails very quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Through much reading of other posts I seem to have found a solution. While there is no mention of this in the Clonzilla information - at least not that I could find - the image on the jumpdrive has to be in /home/partimag. You need to create that file structure and store the image there.
Yes, basically the image repository is on /home/partimag/, of course you can change the setting by editing the file /etc/drbl/drbl.conf.
For your case, if you want to save the image on the USB flash drive,
it's recommended to boot the live USB in the mode "To RAM":
http://clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=./clonezilla-live/doc/01_Save_disk_image/01-clonezilla-boot-menu.doc#01-clonezilla-boot-menu.doc
then mount the USB flashdrive again as /home/partimag/
