    I've just upgraded our PXE server to 2.4.5-20-amd64 (from 2.4.2-61-amd64) and have noticed that the '-c' option that should prompt twice for confirmation when writing an image to disk is not working. The full command line:

    ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -k1 -icds -j2 -p true -um expert -v restoredisk ask_user ask_user

    When doing disk to image it does prompt for confirmation once, as it has always done:

    ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -rm-win-swap-hib -z1p -i 4096 -v -fsck-src-part-y -sc -p poweroff -um expert savedisk ask_user ask_user

    Can anyone else confirm this?

    Correction. It does eventually prompt for confirmation but it appears to be doing something beforehand that looks like it's overwriting the disk. I will take a closer look at it as I'm confused as to what is going on.

    There is a new feature that by default Clonezilla will check the image before restoring. If it passes, then it will let you choose if you really want to continue to go on.
    So the 1st one is "checking the image", not really restoring.
    This is mentioned in release notes:
    http://clonezilla.org/downloads/alternative/release-notes.php
    You can add an option "-scr" to skip the image checking before restoring.

    Steven.

    Ah I see. In that case I should have read the screen more carefully. Thanks, will add the '-scr' option as our images are large and the check takes an hour.
