I tried to clone multiple machines with clonezilla server edition without positive results.
The problem comes out when the clients are getting cloned.
I used the restoredisk with the k1 option and when the clients starts to restore the image this error pops out:
Partclone v0.2.90 http://partclone.org
Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)
read image_hdr device_size error
I used Static ip configuration with multicast clients to wait.
Please nsomeone help me!
"Partclone v0.2.90 http://partclone.org" -> It seems you used the old version...
Have you tried to use Clonezilla lite server, say using Clonezilla live 3.1.2-22 or 20240408-noble and follow this to do that:
https://clonezilla.org//fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/11_lite_server
Download Clonezilla live here:
https://clonezilla.org//downloads.php
Clonezilla lite server is much easier than Clonezilla SE.

Hi and thank you for the answer!
I installed the latest versione of clonezilla server when I tried to clone multiple machines...
Can I clone multiple machine at the same time witch clonezilla lite server either? I am using a fisical machine to restore the image on the others.

"Can I clone multiple machine at the same time witch clonezilla lite server either? I am using a fisical machine to restore the image on the others." -> Did you mean you want to restore an image to multiple machines? If so, yes.
You can try something like this:
https://clonezilla.org//fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/11_lite_server

ok! I'll try! I'll let you know how it goes!
It worked!(I tryed with one client)
Thank you so much! i also have a problem with a single type of pc, even cloning with the standard clonezilla software.
I got this error message:
unable to find target hard drive : "sdb" !!!
check if this hard drive really exists, or maybe (1) the kernel is too old (2) the image was not saved from this disk (p.s. you can use cnvt-ocs-dev to convert the image to a different disk device name. for more info, check "cnvt-ocs-dev --help".): sdb
OK, great. It's nice to hear it worked for you.
As for your 2nd question.
Your source disk is saved from "non-/dev/sdb", and you use lite server to restore it in the netboot clinet?
If so, you have to convert the image for your destination disk in the client.
Check this:
