I used Clonezilla Live from a CD to capture an image to a CIFS share. Now I want to restore the image to several machines, preferably using multicast.
My desktop has two NICs, one onboard (10.x.x.x) and one PCI based for imaging through a switch. I installed Sun Virtualbox and a Ubuntu 10.10 as a VM and DRBL. I gave the VM bridged access to both interfaces so it gets a DHCP address on the 10.x.x.x network. On the PCI NIC, assigned a static address 192x.x.x and enabled it to serve DHCP addresses from 192.x.x.10-19. The PCI NIC is connected to a GigE switch.
I mounted the CIFS share into /home/partimag and ran DRBL with Clonezilla start and set it to restore an image detected in /home/partimag.
I am able to PXE boot my clients, and they appear to start Ubuntu and Clonezilla, but it reports:
"The directory /home/partimag/imagename-img for the inputed name does not exist"
When I navigate to /home/partimag on the client, the directory is empty and I cannot proceed from here.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I found my problem results from having the image on CIFS share. Once I copied the image to the VM, I was able to deploy the image… Anyway I can keep the images on the network somehow? The file server only supports CIFS.

Your case is similar to this:
