Saving disk image to the same partition mounted as live root...

Hi! I'm trying to make Clonezilla store generated images in the same partition used to boot. There is a /home/partimag directory as created when I extract the zip/iso image, but as I've come to understand it is only used as a read-only place to do restore operations, and it works by generating a symlink pointing there at the live /home dir (basically doing the same as mount -o bind /lib/live/mount/medium/home/partimag /home/partimag) if and only if there is something in there to begin with. Otherwise it completely ignores that location, so inside the live environment there is effectively no write access to that partition.
I found a workaround by generating two partitions and using one as read/write image repository, but I imagine the is some other way.
Thanks in advance!
