My goal is to save an image of hda using dd. Since its qnx filesystem I have no other option. I want to automate this. my output from the manual steps
I have tried using a custom ocs. My script is as follows
From here, you can write your own scripts.
# 1. Configure network
#dhclient
# 2. Mount the clonezilla image home
prep-ocsroot -t skip
/opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-sr -l en -q -c -j2 -z1 -i 2000 -p reboot saveparts backup "hda"
I am using the command to make the zip
ocs-live-dev -g en_US-UTF-8 -k NONE -s -c -m ./custom-ocs-1
once i load the zip onto the usb and make it bootable and try and boot the server to copy hda to the usb (sda1) it fails and says make sure home partimag is a directory.
When I run the process manually it says to use this command later use
osc-sr -q -c -j2 -z1 -i 2000 -p reboot savedisk "backup" "hda"
I would love to find out how to boot from the usb drive and save the image to the same drive I'm booting from. This does work if you do the steps manually so I must be missing something.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
I guess you are using stable Clonezilla live (1.2.1-53)
In this step:
# 2. Mount the clonezilla image home
prep-ocsroot -t skip
You should not use "-t skip", if you want to skip it or something else, just remove this whole command.
In your case, you can replace it by:
mkdir -p /home/partimag/
and
mount /dev/sda2 /home/partimag/ (if you want put the image in different partition, you have to mount. This step you have to decide where you want to save)
In the testing Clonezilla live (1.2.2-9), /home/partimag/ will automatically created when Clonezilla live boots, so the command "mkdir -p /home/partimag/" in not required.

That did not do the trick. When I use
mkdir /home/partimag
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /home/partimag
when clonezilla boots it fails to mount
saying according to mtab /dev/sda1 is mounted on /live/image unable to find /home/partimag program terminating.
How do I tell my script to use /live/image/home/partimag as its mount point to save my image?
Thanks,
Kevin
Since it's the same partition, you do not have to mount, instead of
mkdir /home/partimag
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /home/partimag
you can:
(cd /home; ln -fs /live/image/home/partimag partimag)
