Hello,
I have a master machine with a 1TB HDD from a customer and i must clone this to > 10 Systems per day.
I decided to use clonezilla multicast for the deployment and it works very fine!
My Problem ist that the cloned machine did not work like the Master!
On the master machine is a ESXI Server running with an encrypted VM-Storage, on the cloned machine the ESXI ist starting fine, but the encrypted VM-Storage is not accessible.
When I do a 1:1 copy with dd of the whole Disk everything is working perfect, but I can´t deploy this Image via Clonezilla Muticast!
Is there a way to "convert" the DD Image of the whole disk to clonezilla readable format?
Or any other Ideas to solve my Problem?
To create the Image (with clonezilla) from the Master HDD I used the following parameters:
-b -q1 -j2 -ntfs-ok -rescue -sc -p poweroff -z1p -i 4000 -l
To deploy the Image i use:
-b -g auto -x -e -irhr -ius -icds -j1 -j2 -y1 -p choose
PS: Sorry for my bad english :-)
"On the master machine is a ESXI Server running with an encrypted VM-Storage, on the cloned machine the ESXI ist starting fine, but the encrypted VM-Storage is not accessible." -> What's the OS which you have restored?

Thank you for your reply! But I have solved the problem myself.
I have disabled the splitting and compressing and now the copy works fine!
The drbl-Service is running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
OK, at least you have found a workaround.
Steven.
