I've installed drbl server on CentOS 6.3, made five different images and
restored a couple of them succesfully. Now I'm trying to restore one image
to 7 machines, but with no luck. What makes this odd, is that I managed to
restore this image exactly one time today and after that started troubles
and I couldn't restore it at all. In the successfull restore I was simultaniously
trying to multicast these images, but only the firstly started succeeded,
rest 6 didn't.
Besides, that image was made and restored with debian based live
clonezilla inserted in to my drbl installation as somewhere was advised to
try that (because originally drbl-installed clonezilla didn't work mainly
for the same reason).
What is the story behind this message when trying multicast restore drbl
clonezilla image made earlier this day (and several times before with same
failure):
“/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off”
My drbl servers messages log says: in.tftpd[19375]: tftp: client does not
accept options
.
I found one answer from http://drbl.org/faq saying:
“Do not worry. This is common when you use PXE clients. For more info,
check here:http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2003-June/002093.html”. The
link is ten years old and is worth of nothing.
When checking further in clients output there were these messages:
“Mounting root filesystem 192.168.13.253:/tftpboot/node_root at /sysroot
with option 'ro,nfsvers=3,tcp,nolock,'...”
“mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported”
“Failed to mount the root filesystem! Something went wrong!!!”
I've searched answer to this question for many days, but nowhere is clear
explanation for this. I know I'm not alone with this problem and I'm in a
hurry to make this image deploying working.
So, is there anybody who can help me with this. What should I check. Does
this unsupported NFS version mean server or client? How can I check and
fix it? Are there any other explanations for this behavior?

Did you do some updates in your CentOS? If so, it might break some settings.
You can follow
http://drbl.org/installation/#upgrade
to upgrade the DRBL system.
On the other hand, you can try this mode:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-SE/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php
It will save you time, too.
