Hi there, i'm trying to setup a clonezilla server.
so far i've followed this guide http://geekyprojects.com/cloning/setup-a-clonezilla-server-on-ubuntu/
running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
My current setup is
The Ubuntu-clonezilla server connects to a switch then to the machine that is suposed to be cloned, running 192.168.112.* network setup on the Ubuntu i'm running eth1 and clonezilla on eth1:1
Other PC's are connected to the switch also but are running 192.168.111.* network setup.
So far I keep getting mounting errors.
current error is
[219.140060] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation
[219.140653] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -115
Mount error(115): operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Clonezilla image home directory /home/partimag is not a mounting point! Failed to mount other device
as /home/partimag!
how can I get past this error?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
when I installed clonezilla server I chose
192.168.112.1-12 as eth1:1
255.255.255.0 as submask
/home/partimag/clonezilla as the image folder
so when I start the clonezilla livecd I choose the following
clonezilla live (default settings)
en-us.utf-english
dont touch keymap
start clonezilla
device-image
Samba_server
dhcp
IP address or FQDN of the server….. 192.168.112.1 (Wich is my clonezilla server IP)
Domain in the samba server… I choose cancel (As I belive that I dont have any samba domain server)
Account in server, the account…… playman
The directory where the clonezilla image… /home/partimag/clonezilla
then I get this info
Mounting samba sever by:
mount -t cifs -o user="playman" "//192.168.112.1/home/partimag/clonezilla" /home/partimag
But what I also notice when I connect to the server from my XP machine I get this address
\\192.168.111.191\allusers
wich is suposed to be
/home/partimag/clonezilla

Are you sure there is a directory /home/partimag/clonezilla on your Samba server 192.168.112.1?
Normally there is no such dir on MS Windows unless you create that.

Yes I'm sure, I even have 3 shortcut files for clonezilla there. Well unless the samba server somehow has settups for each "eth" there might be a possiblity that the folder /home/partimag/clonezilla might not be reffered in smb.conf
I'm quite new at this whole server thing.
allright the strangest thing, after giving it some thinking I decided to try using "/allusers" instead of "/home/partimag/clonezilla". It seems to be working now, any idea why it turned out like this?
I thought I saw it saving to "/home/partimag" but the file I'm saveing is located at "/home/partimag/clonezilla"
(well it says "starting saving /dev/sda1 as /home/partimag/optiplex_GX_240/sda1.xxx…."
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
'using "/allusers" instead of "/home/partimag/clonezilla"' -> Is your /home/partimag is a shortcut to /allusers?
If so, maybe samba service does not like that…
I am just guessing…

not that I know of, frankly I have no idea why this is acting like this :/
But atleast it's working now, i've made 3 images so far, and imaged about 20 PC's now,
so I guess i'll just keep it as it is now :D
Thanks for all the help Steven

This error is on Clonezilla server?
Why it is something related to cifs?
Steven.
Hi steven, thank you for your reply.
The error is coming from clonezilla live cd, when i'm trying to create a image and connect/save it to a local clonezilla server.
Are you sure the network setting is correct, and the IP address of your CIFS server is correct?
Please make sure that.
Steven.
Ah… thank you, the CIFS might be wrong, i'll check that and report back.
probably won't do this until on monday.
sorry for the long resbond.
i've installed and configured the samba server, so far I know it's working.
but now I get the -6 error I took a photo of it.

Any idea?
Did you enter the right path?

Yes I belive so.
when I installed clonezilla server I chose
192.168.112.1-12 as eth1:1
255.255.255.0 as submask
/home/partimag/clonezilla as the image folder

Account in server, the account…… playman
The directory where the clonezilla image… /home/partimag/clonezilla
then I get this info
type the password… I put in my password
and I get the same error as before.
I used this guide to setup my server
http://geekyprojects.com/cloning/setup-a-clonezilla-server-on-ubuntu/
here's my copy of my /etc/samba/smb.conf
http://pastebin.com/9itW9B16
and here is' my copy of /etc/network/interfaces

But what I also notice when I connect to the server from my XP machine I get this address
