I also use checkpoint with clonezilla. You will need to use expert mode, and select "dd only". I recommend turning off compression as well, as the encrypted data will not compress well. -Andy -----Original Message----- From: Jaime Torres [mailto:jai...@gm...] Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 4:52 PM To: clo...@li...

Hi, Just downloaded 1.2.6-24-i686.zip for a live pendrive ( aka usb ) and customized it with my custom-ocs(1) script. However, I see some klog messages coming in and made visible thru dialog screens. Usually kernel message are written to /dev/tty0 ( /dev/console) . I am running my dialog screens on /dev/tty1 and there is no link between /dev/console and /dev/tty1. I was working with a live cd version (downloaded 2 or 3 weeks ago) which did not exhibit this .... is it the CD vs USB or is the new release ? Also, given a clonezilla osi ....is there any version file somewhere in /opt/drbl that I can figure out what Clonezilla version is this iso from. Thanks Medi |

After giving it another test, it turns out that Clonezilla only enables networking when choosing a non-local destination (SSH, NFS, etc.). |

Depending on the context, "MBR" can refer to the whole 512-byte section, ie. both the bootloader + partition table, or it can refer only to the bootloader. I have a couple more questions: 1. I've read that to wipe out the bootloader, I should zero out the first 440 bytes: Why did you write 446? Are there extra bytes that I can zero out as well? //This is what I use: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1 2. In the -t1 option, does "prebuilt MBR" mean "Windows bootloader"? When restoring a Windows partition after playing with Linux (ie. GRUB as boot loader), I notice that even leaving this option unchecked does restore the Windows bootloader anyway. So I guess the -t1 option is only needed if, for some reason, the user needs to force Clonezilla to restore the Windows bootloader (equivalent to booting with Windows CD and running "fixmbr"). I suggest changing the text as follows: [*] -g Reinstall GRUB bootloader in MBR on target disk (only if GRUB config exists in any Linux partition) [] -t Clonezilla does not restore bootloader in MBR [] -t1 Clonezilla restores prebuilt bootloader from syslinux (For Windows only) Thank you. |

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for reminding us this.
We will add this in the next release.

There is an existing partition table on the destination disk, and clonezilla does not touch it, it just restores the image to the partition without touch the partition table. Therefore in this case, you have to tune the partition table by yourself, or you can enter expert mode, check the option to force clonezilla to recreate the partition table on the destination disk.

Md5sum check only only check if the image is copied correctly or not. To verify the image of each partition, you can use the program partclone.chkimg to check that (CRC checking).

We just do different images for different departments. (as well as for different hardware. We build a base image for a particular hardware configuration.

Hello I just noticed that when I choose "Enter_shell" the first time we have the opportunity of doing so, I don't have any network enabled (ifconfig = 127.0.0.1 only), which was a problem because I needed to upload some files over the network. Why is the network not enabled at this point? Is it enabled later when using CZ? Thank you. |

When restoring an image from /sda2 to /sda1 on my test host. I only
use Clonezilla to restore an image into a partition, so as to be able
to test applications in the different versions of Windows. That's
also why it was important for me to understand exactly what CZ does
to the MBR, especially the bootloader part, when restoring just one partition.

Does Clonezilla rewrite the partition table in the MBR even when just
restoring an image in a single partition (instead of restoring the
image of a whole disk)?

Hi, Thanks for the bug report. Does this problem occur when you do disk to disk cloning, or image restoring? Normally Clonezilla should honor the partition table of source disk, and create the same table on the destination disk. No idea why there is Could you please run the following commands on the source disk: 1. sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda 2. sudo parted -s /dev/sda print (Replace /dev/sda as the source disk device name) then tell us the results? Thanks. Steven.
