This release of Clonezilla live (1.2.12-67) 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 2012/Jun/20). - Linux kernel was updated to 3.2.20-1. - Package drbl was updated to 1.12.14-1drbl, and package clonezilla was updated to 2.5.42-1drbl. - Partclone was updated to 0.2.49. - Gdisk was updated to 0.8.5-1.1drbl. - Booting on uEFI machine via CD is supported in this release. - Package ddrescue was removed because it's no more in Debian Sid, and we already have gddrescue. Ref: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677101 - //NOTE// From Clonezilla live 1.2.6-24, if you manage the boot parameters by yourself, you have to put the extra boot parameter "config" or "live-config" to make live-config to work. - //NOTE// From Clonezilla live 1.2.6-24, due to the change in Live-boot, the boot parameter to assign static IP address has been changed. The new format is: - ip=**[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER] [,[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER]]***:: - e.g. - ip=eth0:192.168.100.1:255.255.255.0:192.168.100.254:8.8.8.8,eth1:192.168.101.1:255.255.255.0:: BUG FIXES - Bug fixed: The restored Fedora 17 failed to boot via grub 2.

So you have checked this URL? http://clonezilla.org/livehd.php If so, could you show us more outputs on the screen? You can take a photo then post it. BTW, maybe it's because the kernel can not find the harddrive, so you'd better to give the latest Clonezilla live a try, e.g. 1.2.12-67 or 20120620-precise. Steven.

my system:debian6.0.4+clonezilla-live-1.2.12-37-i486.iso
clonezilla-live-1.2.12-37-i486.iso is in the
'(hd0,msdos1)/clonezilla-live-1.2.12-37-i486.iso'
my grub configuration:
menuentry "Clonezilla live" {
set isofile="(hd0,msdos1)/clonezilla.iso"
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live live-config noswap nolocales edd=on
nomodeset ocs_live_run=\"ocs-live-general\" /
ocs_live_extra_param=\"\" ocs_live_keymap=\"\"
ocs_live_batch=\"no\" ocs_lang=\"\" /
vga=788 ip=frommedia nosplash toram=filesystem.squashfs
findiso=$isofile
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
}
when i boot ,the output is :
modprobe :module lks not found in modules.dep
how to revise it?

Hi, sorry for the lame questions ahead; I've never used clonezilla before and I'd like to get some info in advance. (I did browse the FAQ and the rest of the website first.)

> Any good idea to keep the existing mechanism, not breaking it, but
Sorry - I wish I knew more programming. :-|
I'm just a dumb electrician; the interfaces I use (pendants on FANUC and ABB robots, RSLogix on Rockwell controllers, etc.) convert the 'programming' I do into code so I rarely see it in raw format... ergo, I don't even remember the #include[s] for
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
and I struggle making scripts run on my DD-WRT router from perl installed with ipkg.
In case I haven't said it before, thanks for all the work you do on Clonezilla!

Good point. I think we have to find a way to deal with boot loader in the partition, not the MBR. This function should let "-g auto" can automatically detect it, and run it. Any good idea to keep the existing mechanism, not breaking it, but can make it? Thanks.

If grub is installed on /dev/sda1/boot/grub when cloned, shouldn't it be there when restored, too? (so we don't have to fix grub every time we restore an image?) Besides whaever reason Mark has for not wanting it in the MBR, putting grub in the MBR breaks Dell's MBR, which redirects the MediaDirect button from power-off to boot a custom version of CyberLink's PowerCinema (lets you watch DVDs without loading windows and all its services), and having grub in the MBR also prevents Windows7 service packs from installing. |

Hi Floris, Thanks! I will check this, however, it might take time since we need to find some hardware. Steven.

Hi Steven, I had thought that Clonezilla would install grub to the partition I specified (sda1) after restoring the image to the disk. That is why I used the option '-g /dev/sda1'. It seems that the option '-g auto' works, but it installs grub to the MBR and that's not what I want. However, I have written a script to install grub to sda1 post-restore, which works OK. In that case I leave out the -g option in the osc-sr command line.

I already altered cciss_dev_map_if_necessary to remove the check for the
cciss module there, so that the mapping script is always executed.
The problem I had was that with cciss you only have devices like
/dev/cciss/c0d0, and the script just creates symlinks like:
/dev/sdc -> /dev/cciss/c0d0
/dev/sdc1 -> /dev/cciss/c0d0p1
However with fake RAID you have /dev/mapper/isw-nameofvolume which is
not actually a device but a symlink to /dev/dm0
When you create symlinks like:
/dev/sdc -> /dev/mapper/isw-sfdgdfd -> /dev/dm0
/dev/sdc1 -> /dev/mapper/isw-sfgdfdp1 -> /dev/dm1
Clonezilla doesn't like it because /dev/mapper/isw-sfdgdfd is not listed
in /proc/partitions
/dev/dm0 is.
So I now resolve the final device name by calling "readlink -f" first,
and Clonezilla works with normal partitions.
However I'm still having issues with LVM partitions.
Get messages like "///WARNING/// The LVM setting is not found"
Think the device name that is being searched in the LVM tool output,
might still not be the right one.
I also noticed that the size of the disk is retrieved by looking at
"/sys/block/$p/size" in various parts of the code.
Which is not going to work when $p is not the actual device name but a
"sdc" symlink.
Wonder if it perhaps isn't better to get rid of the mapping code
completely, and modify the Clonezilla code to accept the actual device
name everywhere instead of the /dev/sdX symlink.

Hi,
Thanks for asking this.
You need to modify the function "cciss_dev_map_if_necessary" in
/opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions to map that.
If you make it, please send the patch files to us so that we can include
that in the future release.
Steven.

Hi,
I did an attempt to extend the create-cciss-mapping script a little bit
so that it would map other types of RAID devices as well.
- I removed the check for the cciss module in ocs-functions and
create-cciss-mapping so that it is always executed.
- And in create-cciss-mapping I altered:
==
for cdisk in /dev/cciss/c?d? /dev/ida/c?d? /dev/rd/c?d?; do
==
to:
==
dmraid_devices=()
for volume in $(dmraid -s -c | grep -iv "No RAID disks"); do
dmraid_devices+="/dev/mapper/$volume"
done
for cdisk in /dev/cciss/c?d? /dev/ida/c?d? /dev/rd/c?d?
${dmraid_devices}; do
==
This seems to work at first sight.
When ocs is started, the create-cciss-mapping script is executed, and it
creates /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 symlinks to my software raid device, and
the first partition on the raid device.
However in the Clonezilla savedisk screen the sdc device is still not
displayed.
Does a disk drive device need to have certain special properties to be
recognized by Clonezilla?
Yours sincerely,
Floris Bos

Hi Steven, I've been using clonezilla for couple of years with great delight - it saved my life sevaral times:-) But now I've come across this problem I attached. The facts are: I cloned an old Dell Laptop 2 years ago. Now the windows crashed on it. There is no working cd rom inside that laptop, so I took out the HDD. I have a *USB to IDE&SATA sata cable*, and I planned to boot clonezilla with another laptop, attach the crashed hdd, (it has 2 partition - sdb2 with the image for sdb1) and when the clonezilla say me attach the usb device, it gives me this massage: *"unable to enumaret usb device on port 2"* I google a bit, and I made sure to use additional 12 power for that laptop HDD with my USB 2.0 to IDE&Sata Cable. Do you have any idea what to do? Additional info. Interestingly I could mount using this HDD to my ubuntu linux desktop, it only works with windows xp now? This laptop HDD has 2 ntfs partition on it, but linux gparted should be able to read&write it. I use this cable with great care, I don't think the cable is broken. Best regards, Zoltan from hungary |

Hi, I am using clonezilla-live to backup a linux OS to an image, then restore it to another hard disk. (Testing in preparation for, hopefully, a network installation onto many PCs) I install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the disk at /dev/sda. sda1 is root and sda2 is swap. Grub goes on /dev/sda1, NOT the MBR. (I have good reasons for doing this). Then I boot Clonezilla Live via PXE. I am able then to image sda1 to a temporary hard disk. Then I swap out the source hard disk for a blank one, and partition it similarly to the source one (sda1 root, sda2 swap). Following that I boot Clonezilla Live and enter the command shell. I mount the disk with the image with it onto /home/partimag. I run this command next: /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-sr -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -k -p true -g /dev/sda1 -t restoreparts 2012-04-05-13-img sda1 In theory grub should be installed to /dev/sda1. However, I get the following message: The boot loader on /dev/sda is not grub. Skip running grub-install! I am unable to find out why this is so. Nothing in /var/log has anything grub-related in there, so far as I can tell. I can manually install grub to the root partition by doing this: mkdir /a mount /dev/sda1 /a mount --bind /dev /a/dev mount --bind /dev/pts /a/dev/pts mount --bind /proc /a/proc mount --bind /sys /a/sys chroot /a bin/bash [chroot] grub-install --force /dev/sda1 It's not ideal, because I'd like to be able to boot Clonezilla and restore images automatically. Is there any way I can get the ocs-sr command do what I want?

I figured this out, I think backup had some issues copying the files to my usb drive even though my usb drive has no problems. Backup creates an image folder but when it comes to copying the files back to usb, ıt was failing to copy everything. so just before backup ended, I switched to console 2 and checked my /home/partimag and verified that it had more files than my usb and I manually copied everything to usb. Later on another machine I deleted what clonezilla backed up and used my own copy and it worked like a charm.

So are you sure there are image dirs in /home/partimag/? The "restore option" will only be shown when there are Clonezilla image dirs in /home/partimag. Therefore please make sure the mounting action works there. Ref: http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image Steven.

Hi; I just started using using clonezilla live today, I am using the latest stable release. I was able to take a backup of my drive, and I was able to save it to a usb drive without a problem. It created a folder on drive with the name that I specified, and the folder contains several files. Then I tried restoring the image on a new computer using the live usb. When I select local_dev as image directoy and inserted the usb that is used for storing the image folder and waited 5 seconds. Then I've been asked to what to mount as /home/partimag. I am guessing to restore an image I need to select the usb drive and that's what I did, after that I've been asked the directory where the image resides. And I selected the top directory in the local device of the "usb that is storing the image folder", in the next step I selected beginner mode, then in the next screen clonezilla doesn't give me an option to restore the image. I only see savedisk, saveparts and exit. I also tried different combinations, I couldn't make restordisk option to show up in the screen can somebody give some insight on what I am failing to understand here. |

This release of Clonezilla live (1.2.12-37) includes major enhancements
and major bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
* The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release
is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Mar/25).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.2.12-1.
* Partclone-utils was updated to 0.1.3.
* Gdisk was updated to 0.8.2.
* The image of a partition saved by dd is no longer treated as a
broken one in ocs-chkimg.
* The grub1 on ext4 warning will be shown again if grub1 is not run
successfully.
* An option was added to start over while keeping the mounted image
repository.
* An option -fsck-src-part-y was added so that fsck can be run
automatically when saving and image. Thanks to imayneed for this suggestion.
* A reserved name "all" of ocs-sr is used for finding all the devices
in the system or in the image. Thanks to matthiaswe for this idea.
* Package dnsutils was added.
* Language files it_IT, de_DE and fr_FR were updated. Thanks to
Gianfranco Gentili, Michael Vinzenz, and Jean-Francois Nifenecker.
* //NOTE// From Clonezilla live 1.2.6-24, if you manage the boot
parameters by yourself, you have to put the extra boot parameter
"config" or "live-config" to make live-config to work.
* //NOTE// From Clonezilla live 1.2.6-24, due to the change in
Live-boot, the boot parameter to assign static IP address has been
changed. The new format is:
ip=**[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER]
[,[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER]]***::
e.g.
ip=eth0:192.168.100.1:255.255.255.0:192.168.100.254:8.8.8.8,eth1:192.168.101.1:255.255.255.0::
BUG FIXES
* It allows cancellation when selecting a directory name for the
local image repository. Closed
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=3491047&group_id=115473
* Switched to use "lrzip -q -d -o -" instead of "lrzcat -q" so that
other versions of lrzip can be used. Closed
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3487541&group_id=115473&atid=671650.
* This release uses btrfs instead of btrfsctl to tune the size of the
btrfs file system.
Steven.

According to this article, the small Windows 7 boot partition contains data that could help restore the computer in case it gets corrupted and can't start: http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-avoid-200mb-hidden-system-partition-from-been-created-during-windows-7-installation/ For people who bought a Windows 7 disc though, this might not be a problem. I'm not sure. But even if I only cloned the main partition, wouldn't I still have the problems I'm experiencing now if the hard drive sizes are different? Size seems to be the main problem for me right now. By the way, I did a test by making partitions on a blank destination hard drive that were clearly larger than the partitions on the source drive. Instead of having a 100 MiB boot partition, I used 120 MiB. Instead of 15,000 MiB (a number that I typed in myself), I used 15,500 MiB. The result was familiar: Status: 0x000025 Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. I'm not sure why I'm having this problem. I know that I chose to "not create a partition table" when restoring, because using the the partition table from the image or creating one "proportionally" resulted in errors saying the destination drive was too small. Clonezilla works very well for me when I try to restore to the same hard drive. Perhaps Steven or some other developer can help us sort this out, and maybe in the future there will some permanent solution that will make it easier to clone to smaller drives. |

In recent LInux with libata there is no notion of disk geometry anymore. Linux just assigns the maximum possible number of sectors and heads.
