We have a number of machines that unfortunately must run in RAID0 on Intel Fake RAID. I have managed to boot live Ubuntu DVDs to save and restore partitions on these disks successfully using ntfsclone. I do this by merely using the dmraid assemble process before attempting to access the RAID'ed drives.

From what I can see in the documentation, CloneZilla only supports mdadm at this stage. Is it possible to install the CloneZilla client (for multicast) on a standard Ubuntu live image and use that as a PXE boot image ? I could presumably then script the dmraid setup to take place before the image restore, and thereby solve my problems.

Can you point me at the materials that might tell me ow to go about this ?

Sorry for my naivete.

Maybe you can refer to this:

The key is to remove the "nodmraid" from the boot parameters.
