    Hello,
    I am trying to save an image using Clonezilla Live on an USB key.
    this image will be then pushed on a different dirve.
    I don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux and thus I tried to uncomment grub_disable_linux_uuid in etc/default/grub.
    then performing a grub-update, returns an error: failed to get canonical path of /overlay. it could make sense as I am working on a live version however I would like to know if an alternative solution, workaround exists to uncomment the above line. is there any option or parameter to set efore saving/restoring that would do the same?
    thanks in advance for your advices!

    So maybe it's easier to tune that after restoring is done, then boot into the restored GNU/Linux, edit your grub config file, then run grub-update.
    If you really want to do that in live system, you have to mount the root/grub parition, then chroot to run it.
