Definitely this can be fixed. The problem now is, I can not reproduce
the problem here...
Could you please post an always-reproducible case, including the ssh
server version, the Clonezilla live version, the full steps to reproduce
the problem, so I can try to reproduce it here?

Steven.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for looking at this curious issue.

I have just tested it running prep-ocsroot from a clonezilla bash prompt 
and it mounts fine!  It only seems to be when going through the  menu 
system at startup that it fails.  I have been testing this by booting 
copies of the live CDs with the default options.

Additionally, running sudo /opt/drbl/bin/clonezilla also works.  So 
neither the clonezilla executable nor prep-ocsroot alone are enough to 
make it fail.  This makes me wonder if it could be a problem in one of 
the /etc/ocs/ocs-live scripts.

thanks,
Greg

Might be able to, but check first if the Intel Core 2 boots clonezilla
live amd64 version.  I have done this successfully.  But you might be
better off using the clonezilla-live-1.2.8-23-i686.iso to clone both
systems.  If you have older machines too and want to clone them, you
can get i486 version and it will work on more machines.

You can if you want.  I get amd64 version because most of my machines
are 64 bit.

[Clonezilla-live] which file to download/use?

[Juan R. de S. <jua...@gm...>]

I have 2 systems: 

- one with Intel Core 2 and Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit. 
- another one with Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core LGA1155 Sandy Bridge and 
Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit.

1. Can I clone both of the systems using clonezilla-live-1.2.8-23-
amd64.iso based LiveCD? 

Or should I use clonezilla-live-1.2.8-23-amd64.iso to clone 64 bit system 
and clonezilla-live-1.2.8-23-i686.iso to clone 32 bit system instead?

2. Can I clone both of the mentioned above systems using clonezilla-
live-20110328-maverick.iso based LiveCD?

This is weird... sshfs should not have something to do with local file
system...
Could you please boot Clonezilla live 1.2.6-59 or 1.2.8-23, then:
1. sudo -i
2. prep-ocsroot
to mount your sshfs server.
See if you can reproduce the problem.
Thanks.

This is really weird...
Here I can use Clonezilla live 1.2.8-23-i686 to sshfs my squeeze server,
using the TUI (prep-ocsroot).
Besides, you mentioned that you can manually issue the sshfs command to
mount your ssh server, so I guess mabye the issue is in the command
prep-ocsroot.
If I can reproduce the problem here, it will be easier for me to fix
this issue.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] cloning openbsd partition

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

It depends on the used space.
Normally Clonezilla can save 1 GB/min to 3 GB/min. It depends on the
harddrive, CPU, network (if using file server)...

This probably off-topic, from your experience, what is the estimated time

2.0 Ghz processor for BSD slices?

Definitely.
You can make it by:
1. sudo -i
2. Run "ocs-live-netcfg" to configure your network
3. apt-get update; apt-get install screen

Provided CloneZilla includes "screen", how could they take 
screenshots of CloneZilla while it's running?

I'd like to do this to write a tutorial for my users.

Thank you.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] screen capture

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

If you are familiar with command "screen", you can use that to capture that.
Or, just use your camera to take a photo :)

[Clonezilla-live] cloning openbsd partition

[Umarzuki M. <uma...@gm...>]

Hi,

I was trying to backup a hard disk with openbsd 4.4 slices.

Version used = clonezilla-1.2.6-20

It backed up the first partition as 2 TB (max capacity of that hard disk = 2
TB) which detected as sda4 (i saw clonezilla detects it as having sda5 &
sda6) but partitions detected on the backup partition list only contains
sda4. Total size of sda4 = 13 GB

Then it tried to back up sda5 and sda4 had cost me 6 hours so I would not
wait anymore.

Is this the normal procedur that clonezilla uses to backup hard disk with
bsd sclices or I may be caused by a mistake somewhere during configuration
phase?

[Clonezilla-live] writing/saving to lvm based drives/partitions

[Antonio O. <oli...@gm...>]

Dear clonezilla-live users & developers,

I have tried since few versions ago to save to lvm drives(as default
created by Fedora installations), but they don't show up when I want
to enable them :(  Is there a magical parameter to use to allow
clonezilla to allow writing to lvm partitions?

I have successfully used clonezilla and have saved images to
FAT32/NTFS/ext3/ext4 partitions before, but on the machines where a
Fedora installation resides(*that have lvm*), the disk does not show
up :(  I have deliberated to ask this question or not, but since I
have several machines running Fedora with lvm, I would like to have
the benefit of saving images there if it were possible.  I have used
it to save on machines running XP/Vista/7, Slackware, but have not
been successful with lvm.

Thanks in Advance,

Antonio

BTW
Thanks for updating to kernel 2.6.38-1 :), I always *scratched my
head*, why is clonezilla running 2.6.32?  and without me
asking/inquiring about it, Steven has modified to running Debian sid
and basing clonezilla on it :)  Thanks for this :) +1000

Re: [Clonezilla-live] sshfs failing in recent builds

[Bill G. <gu...@io...>]

I was having the same behavior this very week!  But I was using version 
1.2.6-59.

Like you, this is something that I do all the time, and I was quite 
puzzled.  In my situation, I was wanting to perform a restore, 
overwriting the existing NTFS partition.  I tried this repeatedly, 
always resulting in the same failure that you described.  I even put a 
different NIC in the machine, and that didn't matter.

I began to think that the error itself might be masking a completely 
different problem that the onscreen clonezilla errors did not mention.

I booted the machine to a mini-XP CD and ran 'chkdsk c: /f' on the 
target partition.  After that, I was able to restore my image.  I don't 
know if this was actually the issue, or if I just got lucky.

[Clonezilla-live] sshfs failing in recent builds

[Greg T. <gr...@ma...>]

Dear list,

We typically use Clonezilla via sshfs to a central disk-image server. 
This has worked well until recently, when we upgraded the server from 
Debian Lenny (5.0) to Debian Squeeze (6.0).  Upon further testing, 
recent builds of Clonezilla were found to successfully connect to all 
Lenny and Fedora boxes but no Squeeze boxes.

When it fails, the error is always the same.  When booting up a live CD 
I navigate the menus thusly: English Language -> Don't touch keymap -> 
Start Clonezilla -> device-image -> ssh_server -> dhcp -> (server details)

After that I get the following:

Mounting sshfs by:
sshfs -o nonempty -p 22 root@myserver:"/lab" /home/partimag
The authenticity of host 'myserver (x.x.x.x)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
root@myserver's password:
remote host has disconnected
Clonezilla image home directory /home/partimag is not a mounting point! 
Failed to mount other device as /home/partimag!

The server gives the following errors:
/var/log/auth.log
Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: Accepted password for root from 
<IPADDR> port 39518 ssh2
Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session 
opened for user root by (uid=0)
Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: subsystem request for sftp
Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: Received disconnect from <IPADDR>: 
11: disconnected by user
Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session 
closed for user root

Strangely if I enter the sshfs command exactly as shown above at a 
Clonezilla root (sudo -s) prompt then it works and I can run Clonezilla 
successfully.

I have tested this with several different versions of Clonezilla and 
found the following results when trying to use sshfs to a server running 
Debian Squeeze:

CZ Version	Status
1.2.4-28-686	OK
1.2.5-35-i686	OK
1.2.6-24-i486	OK
1.2.6-24-i686	OK
1.2.6-24-amd64	OK
1.2.6-40-i686	FAIL
1.2.6-40-amd64	FAIL
1.2.8-23-i686	FAIL

This suggests that something significant changed in 1.2.6-40.  The 
problem is not limited to one particular server, since I get consistent 
results when trying to connect to other Debian Squeeze boxes.

Can anyone shed light on what the problem might be?

thanks,
Greg

[Clonezilla-live] screen capture

[Paul V. A. <van...@ho...>]

Question - How can I capture the ocs_live_run screen output in a text file? I've tried using the 'script' command but the 
restore screen outputs a lot of graphical characters into the text file.  I like the script.txt output for reporting purposes 
but it's messy i the middle.

thanks!
Paul

[Clonezilla-live] Stable Clonezilla live (1.2.8-23) Released

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

Stable Clonezilla live 1.2.8-23 has been released.

This release of Clonezilla live includes major enhancements, changes and 
bug fixes.

MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:

   * The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This 
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2011/Mar/28).
   * Linux kernel was updated to 2.6.38-1.
   * Partclone was updated to 0.2.22.
   * Live-boot was updated to 2.0.15-1.drbl1, and live-config was 
updated to 2.0.15-1.drbl1.
   * Language files were updated. Thanks to Alex Ibáñez López, Zhiqiang 
Zhang, Gianfranco Gentili, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Akira YOSHIYAMA and 
Anton Pryadko.
   * New packages were added: disktype, ufsutils
   * Memtest86+ was updated to 4.20.
   * A mechanism was added to check if the saved image is restorable.
   * A better mechanism was added to deal with multiple slices of a BSD 
system.
   * "noatime" and "nodiratime" options are now used when mounting file 
system in prep-ocsroot.
   * The boot parameter "nomodeset" was removed.
   * The ocs_postrun boot parameter (and ocs_postrun1, ocs_postrun2, 
etc.) was added.
   * By default partclone.dd is used instead of dd to process unknown 
file systems.
   * The sgdisk program is used to process GPT by default. This makes 
the imaging and cloning of Mac OS better.
   * The virtual block device (/dev/vd[a-z]) support was added. Thanks 
to Cyril Roos for providing patch.
   * //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=**[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[DEVICE]:[AUTOCONF] 
[,[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[DEVICE]:[AUTOCONF]]***::
     e.g.
     ip=10.0.0.1::10.0.0.254:255.255.255.0::eth0,:::::eth1:dhcp

BUG FIXES

   * An issue with restoring a small, freshly formatted filesystem has 
been fixed.
   * A bug where ocs-get-part-info failed to remove a temp file in /tmp 
was fixed.
   * The failure of the -hn0/-hn1 option in some cases was fixed.
   * A bug was fixed in which multiple network cards did not honor the 
boot parameter of ethernet timeout

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Problem to automatically restore from a remote SSH server

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

I think I have found the issue. I believe the problem is ocs_prerun* is 
run during init, which is in non-interactive mode, so there is no way we 
can input the password...
I will think about how to implement a better mechanism in the future 
release. For the time being, is that possible you can use a NFS server, 
or use a script to do that? E.g.
The content of your script (myscript.sh):
==============
#!/bin/bash
sshfs -o nonempty -p 22 clone@x.x.x.x:/images /home/partimag
ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -cs -p true restoreparts ask_user 
sda1"
==============
and the config file:
append initrd=clonezilla/initrd.img boot=live live-config noswap
nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_prerun1="dhclient -v eth0"
ocs_prerun2="sleep 10" ocs_prerun3="wget -P /tmp/ 
http://$server/myscript.sh" ocs_live_run="bash /tmp/myscript.sh"
ocs_live_extra_param="" 
ocs_live_keymap="/usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin9.kmap.gz" 
ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="fr_FR.UTF-8" ocs_numlk="on" vga=791 
nosplash fetch=http://x.x.x.x/pub/iso/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Problem to automatically restore from a remote SSH server

[LEFIEUX M. <mor...@sa...>]

Thanks for your reply but i've already tested this without success. The 
network is well set up but the sshfs part still produce the same error 
without asking the password.

This is what i've tried:

append initrd=clonezilla/initrd.img boot=live live-config noswap
nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_prerun1="dhclient -v eth0" 
ocs_prerun2="sleep 10" ocs_prerun3="sshfs -o nonempty -p 22
clone@x.x.x.x:/images /home/partimag" ocs_live_run="ocs-sr -g auto -e1 
auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -cs -p true restoreparts ask_user sda1"
ocs_live_extra_param="" 
ocs_live_keymap="/usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin9.kmap.gz" 
ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="fr_FR.UTF-8" ocs_numlk="on" vga=791 
nosplash fetch=http://x.x.x.x/pub/iso/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs

if you have any other idea.

Thanks a lot.
