Hi Steve, Yes, you hit the limitation. For CCISS device, there is an issue for Clonezilla to do device to device cloning. However, I am sure the device-image way should work. What was the error message when you mentioned "I couldn't get it restoring from my image"? Thanks. Steven.

I have been at this for a couple days now and have tried about 30 ways and combinations to get this going will no luck. I have a stack of HP servers and trying to clone an image on to them (note this has worked many times with dell power edges). I couldn't get it restoring from my image, so I decided to just do a disk to disk clone and that too won't work. My current setup: HP Proliant DL380 G5 2 Disks - 73GB SAS - two logical drives (one per disk) both raid 0 - disk 1 has the OS I want to clone to disk 2 which is an empty logical drive. 1. Boot Clonezilla live version: 20140114-saucy (I was using an older 2013 version, upgrading to 2014 didn't fix) 2. enter into device-device mode 3. beginner mode (have tried various expert modes) 4. disk_to_local_disk 5. it sees both disks: cciss/c0d0 and cciss/c0d1 6. select the first, then the second (source destination) 7. skip checking/repairing source file system 8. enter 9. Error lsblk: /dev/cciss/cd: not a block device Unknown partition table format for file /tmp/ocs_onthefly_local.gH10Wx/src-pt.parted! Program terminated!! So the above is where I am stuck now trying the disk to disk route...but I'm having issues with any way I'm trying it with these HP's. Thanks. |

I think we ran across that with some HP servers that had a hidden
recovery partition or something where the space didn't seem exactly
right. But, they had server versions of windows where resizing the
filesystem is an included option, so we made it smaller before making
the clonezilla image, and expanded to fill the space after restoring.

This release of Clonezilla live (2.2.1-25) 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/Jan/13).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.12.6-2.
* Partclone was updated to 0.2.69.drbl1. Bugs about reiser4 and
btrfs have been fixed.
* Syslinux was updated to 6.03-pre1. This should fix a boot issue
on some BIOS machine, e.g. Acer Aspire One.
* Package drbl was updated to 2.7.18-drbl1, and clonezilla was
updated to 3.9.10-drbl1.
* The output of blkid will be saved in the image dir as blkid.list.
* Packages bcache-tools and chntpw were added.
* Package pixz was added, and is used for parallel xz compression/
decompression.
* A mechanism to convert image compression format was added. It can
be used to convert the gz compression to xz compression, for example.
* Language files, it_IT, fr_FR, de_DE, andja_JP.UTF-8 were updated.
Thanks to Gianfranco Gentili, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Michael Vinzenz,
and Akira YOSHIYAMA.
* The code for restoring MBRs was extracted as a single program,
ocs-restore-mbr, allowing it to be used more easily.
* The install_grub_hd function in ocs-functions was extracted as a
program "ocs-install-grub" so that it's easier to be run separately.
*** BUG FIXES ***
* A bug where live-config failed to show eject info when rebooting
or halting in upstart environments was fixed.
* Because the "ip=frommedia" boot parameter made Ubuntu-based
Clonezilla live's vmlinuz boot slowly, it was replaced with "ip=", which
is accepted by live-boot with same function and is shorter.
* When creating a recovery zip file, if an image is included it is
not compressed.
* When a recovery ISO/zip file is created, Clonezilla now honors the
original splash mechanism.

When you encounter this error, please enter command line prompt, then run: 1. sudo -i 2. parted -s /dev/sda unit s print 3. parted -s /dev/sdb unit s print (Assuming your source disk and destination disk are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb) Then post the results of (2) and (3). By doing this, we can tell if they are really the same in size. Steven.

The reason I would like this is due to the fact I have some wrapper scripts that do memory and hw tests before restoring HD content and when something didn't pass testing I originally used exit to drop to the shutown option prompt. The old way I could see what failed but now whiptail dialog wipes that out. I already solved this by using my own exit function instead of exiting to CZ's dialog. I was just checking if there was a boot switch that could be used to re-enable the older behavior. Not a big deal now though.

Is this a Windows installation? You can use a partition tool like gparted to resize the first drive's partition down by a 20MB or so, reboot so Windows can do the checkdisk, and then try the clone. I've never tried a 2TB drive, so the above is purely a guess.

Hello, I tried to clone disk to another, but clonzilla refuses to start the operation with error that destination disk is muh smaller then source. Both disk are 2 TB models, from different vendors, but size should be the same. Any suggestions? Thanks |

*** BUG FIXES ***
* Boot parameter "noprompt" was replaced by "noeject" in live-boot
version 3. It should be used that in Clonezilla live.

keyboard-layout work. Thanks to m-tm (m-tm _at_ gmx de) for this bug
report, and Michael Vinzenz for tests.

This release of Clonezilla live (2.2.0-29) includes minor 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 2013/Nov/18).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.11.8-1.
* Package drbl was updated to 2.6.9-drbl1, and clonezilla was
updated to 3.8.11-drbl1.
* Package live-boot was updated to 3.0.1-1.drbl4. Because udev 196
introduced a new "hwdb" builtin, it was added in live.hook.
* "quiet" was added to the boot parameters. Besides, Ubuntu-based
Clonezilla live now uses splash booting by default.
*** BUG FIXES ***
* The file "mbr.bin" of syslinux was not put in
/usr/share/drbl/syslinux/bios/.
* A bug where the i386 arch of Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live did not
support uEFI boot (non-secure) was fixed.
* Boot parameter "ocs-daemonon=ssh" failed to start ssh service in
Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live. A better way to disable auto start service
of upstart is used now in Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live.

This release of Clonezilla live (2.2.0-16) 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 2013/Oct/29).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.11.6-1.
* Package drbl was updated to 2.6.8-drbl1, and clonezilla was
updated to 3.8.2-drbl1.
* Package partclone-utils was updated to 0.2.1-drbl1.
* Package tcplay was updated to 1.1-1.
* This release was built with live-build 3, so the live-boot was
updated to 3.0.1-1.drbl3, and live-config was updated to 3.0.23-1.drbl2.
* The uEFI secure boot is now supported in AMD64 Ubuntu-based
Clonezilla live, 20131029-saucy. It's not supported in the Debian-based
one because Debian does not release any signed EFI pre-bootloader "shim".
* This release uses gfxmode=auto, and removes load_video and
faekbios in grub.cfg.
* A small font size issue in KMS mode has been improved.
*** BUG FIXES ***
* The boot parameter vmwgfx.blacklist=yes was not working, so it was
replaced by vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=no.
* A slash was added to the sshfs command to avoid a remote issue.
Thanks to Baird Ramsey and Richard Freeman
(https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/171/).
* An issue where some services were not disabled successfully when
the live system was created was fixed.

Unfortunately the set of machines where I encountered the problem have
already been rolled into production. It turned out that particular
model would work in legacy mode and I was able to rebuild my master
image without the UEFI boot partion and then it cloned successfully.
But I appreciate the quick response to the issue I brought up.

I'm very sorry -- although I had asked some questions about clonezilla on the list, I never ended up using it, and it's unlikely I could test this for you.

This release of Clonezilla live (2.1.2-20) 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 2013/Jul/03).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.9.8-1.
* Partclone was updated to 0.2.66.drbl1. A better disk cache
mechanism was used.
* The package drbl was updated to 2.4.18-drbl1, and clonezilla was
updated to 3.5.1-drbl1.
* The disk size info will be shown when selecting the images during
restoring.
* A summary of ocs-chkimg will be shown after image is checked.
Thanks to Elke Moritz <moritz at linuxtag org> for this suggestion.
* Package syslinux was updated to 5.01.
* Packages lziprecover, nwipe and efibootmgr were added.
* With the option "-k1" and "-icds" enabled, if the used data blocks
are within the partition boundary, it's possible larger partition could
be cloned to smaller one.
*** BUG FIXES ***
* File *sda-img.info should not be included in the partition image
to be restored.
* Device name sdap1 is not the partition of sda disk. Thanks to
julienb35 for reporting this issue. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/179/
* The allocated ramdisk size was too small when "toram" (not
toram=filesystem.squashfs) option was used, some files in live CD
were not copied. Thanks to Nils Garcia (nils.garcia at ensea fr) for
reporting this issue.
* The postrun action was not selectable in expert mode.
* Option -icds of ocs-sr and ocs-onthefly should be passed to
ocs-expand-mbr-pt. Thanks to Jerome Charaoui for reporting this issue
(http://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/175/).
* The get_mkswap_uuid_cmd in ocs-functions failed to detect mkswap
command for util-linux >= 2.20.

Initially it was 'no boot device'. I did boot a Centos 6.4 install
disk into rescue mode and ran grub-install. After that it would boot
to a 'grub >' prompt but not find a kernel. These machines are very
frustrating to boot manually because they have a large amount of ram,
many NICs, and a raid controller that take a long time to initialize
and you have to hit F12 at just the right time to keep them from
trying PXE on all the NICs. I did a different install where I
specified partitioning with only one traditional /boot partition and
that seems to work in legacy mode - and produced an image that would
clone, so I gave up on trying to fix the initial attempt.
The original /etc/grub.conf was a symlink to
/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf and had this:
#boot=/dev/sda1
device (hd0) HD(1,800,64000,0557c1a7-7538-4ba1-b81e-74c4328b8b8d)
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_trepdevl01-lv_root rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8
rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd_NO_DM
rd_LVM_LV=vg_trepdevl01/lv_swap KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us
rd_LVM_LV=vg_trepdevl01/lv_root rhgb quiet crashkernel=auto
initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64.img
The clone probably had an identical copy, but was missing whatever it
took to start the UEFI boot. And that long string in the device line
could have a GUID that needs to be adjusted for the target copy.

The disk contents was probably restored just fine, but, in order to automatically boot from fixed (ie. non-removable) media, you must add a Boot#### non-volatile UEFI variable (= a boot option) and reference it in the BootOrder variable. See "3.1.1 Boot Manager Programming" in the UEFI 2.3.1+errC specification. These variables are stored in system flash, and all UEFI OS installers (eg. Anaconda for RHEL, Fedora, CentOS) must set them. I assume clonezilla doesn't save them in the backup image. Laszlo |

BTW, when you mentioned "in order to automatically boot from fixed (ie. non-removable) media", did you mean when Clonezilla live finishes the restoring, you want the next boot from fixed media instead of live CD? Otherwise for the BootOrder, if the first one fails, uEFI should try the next boot media, isn't it? Sorry, I did not get the point. Or it would be easier that you can tell us how you use "efibootmgr -o xxx,yyy,zzz" to solve this issue? Thanks.

On a lower level, you would call the SetVariable() UEFI runtime service. For the command line, I think efibootmgr / rEFIt / rEFInd are the usual choices. http://freecode.com/projects/efibootmgr http://freecode.com/projects/refit http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ Laszlo |

What was the error messages when grub failed to boot? BTW, did you try to use CentoS 6.4 installation CD to do grub-install? Steven.
