    I'm having problems saving an image to either a USB HDD or a network drive.

    In case of network drive it is mounted via smbfs ---its a Windows(NTFS) files share.
    When running clonezilla the client fails with message "please make sure /media/sharename is a directory"

    Is there an option I am missing or is smbfs not supported?

    Thx

      Are you using Clonezilla live or Clonezilla server ?
      smbfs is not suitable, it's better to use cifs, check this:

      I am using Clonezilla server.
      I was able to connect using cifs, but the performance was pretty bad.

        Well, this depends on the network quality, bandwidth, the CPU, RAM of client or server, and more.
        Maybe you can try to compare that with sshfs or nfs.
        How about the performance in your USB drive ?
