I'm having difficulties to setup my Clonezilla SE with DRBL (Debian) and FreeNAS.
FreeNAS i serving few services like NFS, CIFS, FTP.
I am able to access files on FreeNAS via those services from Debian (mounted NFS share in /etc/fstab and the same is in /tftboot/node_root/etc/fstab).
Successfuly installed DRBL with Clonezilla SE as this article says:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/SettingUpClonezillaDRBLonUbuntu
If my repository for clonezilla is standard like /home/partimag everything works fine.
If I direct repository by configuring drblpush -i to NFS share (/home/vol1/home/partimag) and configured by dcs clonezilla.
After I pick up from menu clonezilla, it starts and asking me "device-image/device-device", when choose it, I get an error:
"Setting the TERM as Linux, Please make sure your /home/vol1/home/partimag is a directory!! We cannot go on…."
I think the path is good because with this path I can access files via NFS mount.
Also tried with Clonezilla SE as Live, from article:
http://clonezilla.org/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php
with no success - it dont starts trying to boot from local NFS tftboot to infinity…
I would rather choose standard Clonezilla SE and force in some way to work with NFS share, what can cause this problem?
greets,

i have tested another path:
mounted nfs share not in /home but in main / (/vol1/home/partimag)
and point to this path with drblpush -i
Clonezilla started and after choosing device-image error asking is this a directory gone…but,
after that when i chose "restoredisk" appear error:
"disk dev/sda doesnt contain a valid partition table.
ofcourse from Debian a can access this resources with no problem.
If you want to export a NFS directory to other clients, you have to install user space NFS service, not kernel-based NFS service.
The user space NFS service is called unfs3, and for deb you should be able to find it on http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core/pool/drbl/live-experimental/unfs3/
