    Hi,

    I havea setup in which there are a lot of clients in the 172.22.0.0 Class b range.
    Some are 172.22.1.x
    others are 172.22.3.x
    Currently there seems to be no way that drbl will work with any addresses except for 172.22.0.x
    I have created a new virtual interface for each range (eg 172.22.1.250, 172.22.2.250) in the hope that thatwould allow me to assign clients correctly.

    When I say which ip to start from and how many clients I want in each range, it works.
    But when it actually creates the clients, it ignores the 3rd octet (eg eth0:2 ip is 172.22.2.250 and clients should be from 172.22.2.1 to 172.22.2.100 etc) and creates all the clients as 172.22.0.1 to 172.22.0.100

    Therefore I can never get client working in any range other than 172.22.0.x
    In other words, drbl does not work with a class b network at all.

    Can this bug be fixed?

    I have an existing Ip scheme and dhcp server that I want to use with clonezilla.

      Sorry I am traveling now, I will try to find why it fails.
      Thanks for reporting this.

      OK, found the reason why.
      You can try to use netmask=255.255.255.0 instead of 255.255.0.0 in your eth0:2 network card TCP/IP setting. This is because drblpush try to use the IP address and netmask in that network card to calculate the available IP address.
