Greetings,
While I can get a samba mount to work just fine using clonezilla live cd, I am unable to successfully mount a samba share as /home/partimag. Is it possible to do this, and where would I make this setting?
Thanks.
This is because in your system, it's kernel nfs service, not user space nfs service is installed.
If you are using Debian-based Linux, you can try to install:
nfs-user-server - User space NFS server
or
unfs3 - User-space NFSv3 Server
to replace the original kernel nfs server.
Let me be more clear. While I can actually make the samba mount, and mount it to /home/partimag, and I can even manually create a file in /home/partimag and it is being created on the samba share, once I invoke clonezilla, it does not write to the samba share, it still writes to the local file system under /home/partimag. Once I umount the samba share, the image is there on the local drive. I'm not sure I understand why you've referenced NFS when I was talking about samba. Would it be better to do an NFS mount, rather than using samba? If so, I can do that. If fact, I will give that a go today and report my results.
Thanks!
My bad. I was wrong about your question, I took it as NFS, not samba. However, I think it's the same idea. You can use user space program, not kernel based service.
