I am a first time Clonezilla user and am creating my first image with the server version. The client connects properly via PXE and creates the image. After creating the image, it saves the hardware, DMI, and PCI info successfully. When it gets to the "Saving Package Info" portion, I am getting an error that says:
lockd: server not responding, still trying
lockd: server OK
lockd: server not responding, still trying
lockd: server OK
This repeats over and over.
I stopped the first attempt and tried to create the image again with the same result. Is there anything I need to do so the image will complete? Any reason this would happen?
Thanks in advance for your help!

This is weird… I tried the stable DRBL and unstable one on my i686 Fedora 14 machine, both of them worked for me. I could not reproduce this issue…
Try to upgrade your Fedora 14 system to the latest one to see if any difference.

FWIW, I'm seeing the exact same problem. I successfully created some images about 8 months ago, but now when I try to create a new image, I'm seeing this message on the client:
lockd: server 192.168.0.254 not responding, still trying
lockd: server 192.168.0.254 OK
repeated over and over.
On the server, /var/log/messages shows:
lockd: cannot monitor cslab1150
statd: server rpc.statd not responding, timed out
How reproducible:
Run drblpush -i, followed by dsc on server. Select options to create a new disk image. Then reboot client to network, and allow Clonezilla to do its thing.
Steps to Reproduce:
Actual results:
Clonezilla completes image creation:

This looks like the problem is on some NFS-related services.
Did you try to upgrade your Fedora 14 and DRBL?
Steven.
That's on the agenda for today. Are there any limitations on how recent an OS I can upgrade to? Will Clonezilla support RHEL 6 or Fedora 17?
For RHEL 6, it should be OK (we do not have RHEL 6 here). Here we have tested successfully on CetnOS 6.
As for Fedora 17, no.
Steven.
Hmm. RHEL 6 may be supported, but the installation will take a bit of persuasion. drblsrv -i fails:

So I try drblsrv-offline to force the issue, and it too fails:

These required packages are not installed: mkinitrd.
In RHEL 6, /sbin/mkinitrd is not provided by the mkinitrd RPM. Instead, it is provided by dracut, which is installed:
# rpm -qf /sbin/mkinitrd
dracut-004-283.el6.noarch
So how can I tell drblsrv-offline to look for dracut instead of mkinitrd (or just not bother checking at all)?
Sorry if this is drifting this thread into a new topic.
Never mind, I found it: Change mknitrd to dracut in /opt/drbl/conf/drbl.conf, and everything goes smoothly.
