im trying to script clonezilla live (ram) up to the point where the user only needs to select the image to clone, then select the disk to restore it to.
this is being done from USB, with the Ram option for clonezilla. USB is one partition.
the system has two drives and my one USB plugged in
1: 30GB EMMC storage (mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2, mmcblk0p3, mmcblk0p4)
2: 120GB M.2 SSD (sda1, sda2)
3: my USB stick (sdb1)
images are located in the Images folder on the USB's root directory.
the idea is for the user to select the image from the USB (this allows us to periodically update the images) and then select the mmcblk0 and restore the image onto the EMMC storage, with user interaction as a general failsafe just in case.
it spits back "cant locate images in the /home/partimag directory.
that directory contains 28 items. see attachment.
what am i doing wrong here? the ocs_live_run command is the one that was generated when i ran through clonezilla manually. it should work. it must be my mounting thats wrong.
So are you sure /dev/sdb1 is mounted successfully as /mnt?
What are the oupputs of these commands when you see the error ""cant locate images in the /home/partimag directory"?
1. sudo df -ah
2. sudo find /home/partimag -print

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I was mounting my image directory a directory too deep. instead of ocsprerun1="mount --bind /mnt/Images /home/partimag" i really needed "ocsprerun1="mount --bind /mnt/ /home/partimag""

In that case, instead of
ocs_prerun="mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" ocs_prerun1="mount --bind /mnt/ /home/partimag"
You can use:
ocs_prerun="mount /dev/sdb1 /home/partimag"
Or use another boot parameter:
ocs_repository="dev:///dev/sdb1"
Solved! Solution here.
