Re: [Clonezilla-live] Q: preset NFS server parameter?

[Heiko N. <hei...@it...>]

Hi,

thanks. My question has been answered by your prerun statement. I
haven't been aware of the possibilities offered by specifying the prerun
statement. Maybe one could add that NFS mounting as an additional example?


Kind regards,

    Heiko

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Q: preset NFS server parameter?

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

Hi,
Did you mean you want to mount NFS server as image repository, or to let
PXE booting use the root file (filesystem.squashfs) on the NFS server?
The 'nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/srv/nfs' is for the latter. For the former,
you can use:
ocs_prerun="mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/srv/nfs /home/partimag"

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Q: managing many images?

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

Hi,
So did you mean when running dcs, you want a better display for the
images list?
Or you need a file browser to list the images on the NFS server?

[Clonezilla-live] Q: preset NFS server parameter?

[Heiko N. <hei...@it...>]

Hi,

is there a way to preset the NFS server parameters? Since all images are
stored at the same NFS server I would like to pass this fixed ip address
and path using some boot parameter. Adding
'nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/srv/nfs' I had no luck: I'm still asked for ip
address and path.

Thx in advance!

[Clonezilla-live] Q: managing many images?

[Heiko N. <hei...@it...>]

Hi,

I'm currently using Clonezilla via PXE to setup test systems with the
needed operating systems. Since I have to do testing for a set of system
hardware and a set of operating systems that means that I need quite a
large set of combinations. Currently I'm accessing those images using
NFS (also on the PXE server).

Problem: the list of images is quite long and each image also has a
quite lengthy name (to express what it is to be used for). So the
displayed name of each image is not completely shown inside the list of
images.

So the question is how to manage/structure/group those images to get
around this problem? Any suggestions? I'm missing some kind of browsing
through (NFS) folders ...

Thx in advance!


Kind regards,

    Heiko

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (2.2.3-25) Released

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

This release of Clonezilla live (2.2.3-25) includes major enhancements
and bug fixes.
*** ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES ***
    * The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2014/Jun/01).
    * Linux kernel was updated to 3.14.7-1.
    * Package drbl was updated to 2.9.9-drbl1, and clonezilla was
updated to 3.10.26-drbl1.
    * Syslinux was updated to 6.03-pre17.
    * Program makeboot.sh was patched by Ceasar Sun to support xfs, ufs
and ffs.
    * Language files ca_ES, de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, it_IT, ja_JP.UTF-8 and
sk_SK was updated. Thanks to René Mérou, Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón
Martínez, Alex Ibáñez López, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco
Gentili, Akira YOSHIYAMA, and Ondrej Dzivy Balucha.
    * A testing program "ocs-img-2-vdk" was added. It can be used to
convert Clonezilla image as virtual disk file (qcow2 and vmdk) via KVM.
To use it, qemu-utils and qemu-kvm packages are required.

*** BUG FIXES ***
    * Forced to use LC_ALL=C to run printf in ocs-expand-mbr-pt. This
could avoid the locales issue
(https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/197/).
    * Newer ntfsclone comes with option "-V", which conflicts with the
option we used before.
    * Program cnvt-ocs-dev now could convert SD device (mmcblk0). Thanks
to joyer99 for reporting this issue
(https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/40636cdd/?limit=25).
    * Program ocs-live-run-menu was improved so that it can run variable
      ocs_live_run like: ocs_live_run="ocs-restore-mdisks -batch -p '-g
auto -e1 auto -e2 -cm -r -j2 -k1 -p true' ask_user sda sdb". Thanks to
Coudy and jbweng2008 _at_ 163 com for reporting this issue.

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

This release of Clonezilla live (2.2.3-10) includes major enhancements 
and bug fixes.
*** ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES ***
     * The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This 
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2014/May/18).
     * Linux kernel was updated to 3.14.4-1.
     * Package drbl was updated to 2.8.25-drbl1, and clonezilla was 
updated to 3.10.11-drbl1.
     * Package diskscan was added.
     * Adding option "-batch" for ocs-restore-mdisks, and it's the same 
function as "-b" or "--batch".

*** BUG FIXES ***
     * This release fixed a bug where live-boot was upgraded to 4.x, 
which is not patched, and caused live-betty to not work.
     * When in restoreparts mode, the "-t" option should now be set by 
default.
     * A bug where 1-2-mdisks failed to reinstall grub due to 
ocs-restore-mbr not honoring the temp $ocsroot variable was fixed.
     * Restoring an LVM partition no longer prevents any following 
non-LVM partitions from being restored.
     * The boot media should not be mounted again as read-write mode in 
ocs-live-save. Otherwise when rebooting, due to the squashfsfs is 
mounted, it can not be unmounted.

It's possible there will be such a mismatch. The linux kernel modules
are localted in /lib/modules/. Therefore it might mismatch to that in
/boot/.
You still can do that with Clonezilla, just have to remember there is
such a risk.

[Clonezilla-live] root partition backup

[Adam G. <aw...@gm...>]

I currently have a three partition setup using ubuntu 14.04:
sda1: efi boot
sda2: boot
sda3: LVM (root + swap)

Let's say I backup sda3.  Subsequently let's say I add a few additional
partitions (it's a GPT disk) and did a few kernel upgrades (through
apt).  If I then decided at some point later that I wanted to restore
sda3, could I go ahead and do that.  I ask because it seems the
partition table will have changed as well as the kernel so will there
not be some kind of a mismatch?

Thanks in advance for any advice

P.S. I appreciate a full disk backup would avoid this but I'd rather not
do this as there's a large data portion I don't need clonezilla for.

_at_ users sf net) for this suggestion.
     * Image creating time will be shown in the prompt before restoring 
an image.
     * An example gen-rec-usb was added. It could be used to create a

for this idea.
     * The example "clone-multiple-usb-example.sh" was removed because 
it's in the main menu already.

     * The parameter "autoproductname" should filter the characters 
"()[]{}". Thanks to Coudy* for reporting this issue 
(https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/193/).
     * The menu about "toram" option for grub should use
       toram=filesystem.squashfs instead of toram so that it's 
consistent with that of syslinux.
     * The xz format for old image format (e.g. sda1.aa) was not detected
       (https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/191/). Thanks to peter 
green for reporting this issue.
     * A typo for the destination partition for 2nd confirmation for 
local partition to local partition was fixed (https://sourceforge.net/p/
       clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/b99ab9e6/). Thanks

The /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. names are assigned by the kernel in the
order detected.   If you aren't hotplugging, that will normally be
fixed by the controller and connection order on the machine, and bios
will see the boot drive as the one linux calls /dev/sda.    USB and
hotplug drives are somewhat special cases since they can be detected
in any order.   If you boot from USB it may become /dev/sda,
regardless of the normal detection order.   I didn't think that
happened with CD drives - at least IDE/SATA versions.

Les, your first paragraph could very well be the solution. Here's what I
did-

- booted up Clonezilla Live via CD drive (no other drives were
physically attached).

- Once Clonezilla was "Started" (seeing the welcome screen and getting
past the keyboard stuff) then, uh....cough, cough, I just connected
drives (image source.....then, destination) that I thought were to be
connected at a certain time.


Question concerning "drive location". Does that mean that each usb port
on my machine assigns a specific /dev/sda...../dev/sdb? I thought sda
was the first drive plugged in. Then after a 2nd drive is attached the
new one is called sdb?

Now, would you please tell me how to get the drives in the right
position sda and sdb wise? (Assuming that's what I'm supposed to do).

Thanks,

Charles

The simple answer is to save the image in the same drive location as
it will be when you restore and when it is supposed to boot.   Perhaps
you used a USB boot into clonezilla-live that made the USB device
become /dev/sda and shifted all the other devices down.

The less simple answer is to run grub yourself after the restore with
the right options for the root and setup commands - where 'right' will
depend on the current relative disk position and your system's bios
concepts.    The error message you didn't bother with might have given
you a hint about them.

No idea. But, given that it had the ability to figure out HOW to make an
image you'd think it would be "smart" enough to figure out how to do the
restore it.

I guess no one knows an answer to the problem.

How is the restore process supposed to know where to find the boot and
root locations that you'd want it to use at boot time when the drives

Not likely considering there's no way to copy the text except by hand.
And even if I knew exactly what the message said there isn't much I
could do about since restoring an image should've done just that.

I've looked extensively (several hours) and finally came up with the
idea to reinstall the boot loader via a method found on the Crunchbang
forum.

Thank goodness I was only working with a small non-critical stick!

The "blah, blah, blah" could give you a hand if you read them carefully

[Clonezilla-live] Restored image not booting

[C <Pe...@Al...>]

Clonezilla made an image of a USB stick.

When the image was restored Clonezilla said something like this;

"The image was made from sdb but was restored to sda....it won't
boot....you'll have to fix something in grub at /etc/blah, blah, blah,
so that it will boot".

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Thanks,

Peace

I think it's this one right?

This is not really the issue. I believe they false alarms.

I believe live-boot has to be patched about mounting LV.
What was the error message when you used findiso command and live-boot
trying to mount the iso file?
Could you take a photo about that on the screen?

[Clonezilla-live] GRUB2 & Booting from ISO on LVM

[Jorge F. <jor...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm using GRUB2 to boot an ISO stored on one of my ext4 partitions.
This works perfectly fine.  However, I can't make it work from an ext4
filesystem that sits on top of LVM.  GRUB2 boots the ISO but something
is wrong with the "findiso" kernel parameter.  When the CD boots I get a
bunch of:

modprobe: module LVM2_member not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module swap not found in modules.dep

That's why I know it is something related to the findiso parameter.
Here's my configuration:

http://fpaste.org/71588/

The first menuentry is the one that works followed by the LVM one where
I even tried "findiso=$isofile" but didn't work.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jorge
