I've been using Clonezilla for close to a year now, but after upgrading my USB devices to the latest version, 1.2.3-24, I am unable to mount the Windows share where my images are archived.
For my image server i'm using a custom built Server 2K3 R2 Standard x64 box, windows firewall is also disabled. File sharing and permissions are OK to my knowledge. As i've said, no issues before, and the only change that was made was upgrading my USB's.
I can ping back and forth from both machines with no issues as well….i'm certainly scratching my head on this one. Any help would be much appreciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I also have run into this problem. After entering my account information and password I receive the following error:
"Clonezilla image home directory /home/partimg is not a mounting point$ Failed to mount other device as /home/partimg!"
I entered the shell and issued the mount command to see the currently mounted file systems and my Windows share is listed. And when I cd to /home/partimg and do a file listing, I see files and directories like I expect.
The mount lists the following line:
//samba.server.name/local/images on /home/partimg type cifs (rw,mand)
My guess is that this is a script error where the script is not detecting that the mount operation was successful.

A workaround has been added in Clonezilla live 1.2.3-27 to avoid this false alarm. Could you all please give it a try?
Please report your test results.
Thanks.
Steven.

Could you please try the old version of Clonezilla live you mentioned on the same environment? Will you get the same error?
Thanks.

Hi Steven,
I just tried with Clonezill live 1.2.3-24 (clonezilla-live-1.2.3-24.iso) and had the same results.
Thanks!
OK, This problem is confirmed. Actually the mount command has successfully mount the samba server, however, mountpoint gives the wrong return code:

Hello Steven,
I just tested both clonezilla-live-1.2.3-27 and clonezilla-live-20100116-karmic. Both reported that the Samba share was mounted.
Looks like this issue is corrected.
Thanks for your work Steven!
Great! Thanks for the confirmation.
Steven.
