When I attempt to capture an image of a Dell PE R610, I get a "mount error (101): Network is unreachable" error when I select SAMBA_Server option. I am attempting to use a Windows share, I have confirmed that the account being used has full permissions on the share, I am using IP address for the share server, I am using static IP for the system being imaged. I am using the Clonezilla Live image as it was downloaded, so there is no custom script being used. Can someone please help?

Sorry for the delay in getting back on this, have had to deal with family health issues. There is no Secure Boot Control option in the bios on the server. I tried to ping and I get something along the lines of "Network is not accessible".
When I am going through the screens, I get to the network device selection screen and I see both of the NICs as detected and showing links as Yes. So that tells me that the drivers are loading. As I stated, I am using a Static IP (using the IP of the server that I am attempting to image) and entering the correct Netmask, Gateway, etc. I am using IP of the Samba server, so DNS is out of the picture.
Any other suggestions?

Ok, so I did some digging and it turns out the IP info I was given about the server was wrong. The server is on a different vlan than what I was told. When I use the correct IP for the vlan it is on, I still cannot get a mount for /home/partimag but no longer get "Network is not accessible" when I attempt to ping the SAMBA/Windows Share server (which is on the same vlan) by IP. When I attempt to ping the SAMBA server I get "Destination Host Unreachable".

If I boot the system I want to image back into Windows I am able to ping the SAMBA server and the SAMBA server is able to ping the system to be imaged.
When I get to the static IP entry screen, it gives me a 192.168.x.x address, which I change to the 10.x.x.x address for the system, I also get a .254 address at the gateway screen which I change to .1. Does Clonezilla Live have an issue with 10.x.x.x addresses?

I think we have a possible reason for the connection issue. We are running LACP on the switches and the NICs on the system that we won't to capture the image from (as well as the systems we will be applying the image to).
Does the Live disk include IFENSLAVE package so that we can run the bond command? Is there a way to create a Live disk with the package included?
Thank you for your help.

I have the testing release that includes ifenslave and tried to get bonding configured per the commands in http://www.twam.info/linux/ethernet-bonding-with-linux-and-8023ad but I am unable to get ifenslave to install/compile and I am unable to configure it via command line.
How do I get ifenslave set up when I boot up on the live disk so that I can configure it? I tried to run "sudo install ifenslave" first, but I didn't know what the destination, etc should be since this is a live disk.

Therefore you should use testing Clonezilla live >= 2.4.1-2 or 20150407-vivid on http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php, then:
1. sudo -i
2. modprobe bonding
3. ifconfig bond0 ...
4. ifenslave bond0 ...

'Secure Boot' in the BIOS should be deactivated
( Security: Secure Boot Control [Disabled] )
if you use a Linux program as clonezilla.
"mount error (101): Network is unreachable" -> Are you sure the network connection is OK? Can you ping your server?

I just did a little more testing and got the following:
ifconfig eth0 shows correct info for IP,etc.
If I boot the system I want to image back into Windows I am able to ping the SAMBA server and the SAMBA server is able to ping the system to be imaged.

"Does Clonezilla Live have an issue with 10.x.x.x addresses?" -> No, it supports all classes. Just like a normal GNU/Linux system.
Steven.
Ok, so then why am I having issues communicating with the network? The system is cannot ping or be pinged.
No idea. Please make sure all the settings are correct, and the firewall...

IFENSLAVE package is very small, and it's included in Debian/Ubuntu repository. Therefore I will add that in the next testing release.

I have the testing release that includes ifenslave and tried to get bonding configured per the commands in http://www.twam.info/linux/ethernet-bonding-with-linux-and-8023ad but I am unable to get ifenslave to install/compile and I am unable to configure it via command line.
How do I get ifenslave set up when I boot up on the live disk so that I can configure it? I tried to run "sudo install ifenslave" first, but I didn't know what the destination, etc should be since this is a live disk.
From the manual of ifsenslave:
EXAMPLE
The following example shows how to setup a bonding device and enslave two real Ethernet devices to it:
Therefore you should use testing Clonezilla live >= 2.4.1-2 or 20150407-vivid on http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php, then:
1. sudo -i
2. modprobe bonding
3. ifconfig bond0 ...
4. ifenslave bond0 ...

I get this error the first time through almost everytime then i hit rerun1 & it works. Any thought on how to fix this?
This is a very old thread, could you please start a new one and describe your issue in detail?
Thanks.
