You have the same issue if you move to a physical host with a different scsi 
controller.  Basically the disk driver for the root filesystem has to be 
included in either the kernel or the initrd.  You can usually boot the install 
disk (even in vmware), add the driver you need to /etc/modprobe.conf and rebuild 
the initrd.  Or a simple-minded approach is to do an install on the same or 
similar hardware, save the contents of /boot, then copy that back over the 
clonezilla load. That should give you the drivers the installer picks without 
having to know the modules you need yourself.

[Clonezilla-live] Restoring a CentOS disk to VmWare : help needed

[Matthieu G. <mgw...@fa...>]

For the record : the problem was that the default disk emulation
of vmware (at least Fusion, mac) is SCSI, while the originating
machine was an IDE one. Looks like centos wasn't equipped with
the necessary drivers to handle the SCSI interface.

Solution 1 : change the interface type to IDE and restore again
Solution 2 : add the drivers needed (not tried)

Thanks for the help Steven !

Yes, vmlinuz will be loaded, then when initrd.img is loaded, and
when it tries to find the root partition, it can not find, since
SCSI driver is not found in initrd.img, so it won't be able to
mount the root partition on SCSI disk. Therefore it shows you
kernel panic.

  That makes sense... Since maybe your initrd of OS taken from
  IDE disk does not include the driver for SCSI device.

  Hi Matthieu,

  Did you mean you installed CentOS on your IDE in the VMware
  machine, and it works ?

  But if CentOS is installed on SCSI disk, Clonezilla failed to
  restore ?

  Steven.

  Steven,

  Any idea ? Should it work ? How could I make it work in SCSI
  anyway ?

  Thanks

  Hi Steven,

  Thanks for your answer. I didn't saw any other error messages,
  but it is possible that I missed one of them... Is there a log
  of the activities written somewhere on the ramdisk ?

  Regarding the image dir : it is stored on an external hardrive
  that I access through Samba at restore time.

  Here is the result of the find command :

  Thanks

  Maybe a lead : the original physical machine is equipped with
  IDE / ATA drives. Vmware presents a SCSI interface... Could it
  be the origin of the problem ?

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Imaging MacBook Pro to larger drive

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

No, I do not think so.
For Intel-based Mac OS, You will have some unallocated space if you use 
Clonezilla to clone that.
Maybe this will be improved if we can find how to create the MAC OS 
partitions on GNU/Linux. If you know that, please share that.
Thanks.

Should Clonezilla be able to image a Macbook Pro to a larger drive?

[Clonezilla-live] [Call for testing] DRBL live

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

DRBL live has been in the beta status for a long time. Recently we have
some improvements so now it's about the time we can move it to stable
branch. Please help us to test it before it becomes stable.
DRBL live is a live system based on Debian Lenny. The same tech used to
created Clonezilla live or GParted live is used to create DRBL live.
Moreover, DRBL live includes:
1. DRBL server, the diskless server,
2. Clonezilla SE, the massive deployment server,
3. Clonezilla live, the disk or partition image or clone tool
4. GParted, the GNOME partition editor for creating, reorganizing, and
deleting disk partitions.
5. More programs, e.g. disk or partition rescue programs, web browser,
picture viewer...

Now DRBL supports Chinese, English, French, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.

You can download it on http://drbl.sourceforge.net (now the version
available is 1.0.0-2) and use the same methods listed on
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/#make
to create your bootable DRBL live media.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Steven.

[Clonezilla-live] Restoring a CentOS disk to VmWare : help needed

[Matthieu G. <mat...@ga...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to restore a physical installation of Centos to a VMWare  
virtual machine.

I received the dreaded "Running: grub-install-no-floppy-root-

grub-probe: error: Cannot open  '/boot/grub/devise_map'
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 374: [: =: unary operator expected" error  
message.

Anyhow, when I try to boot the machine, I received a Kernel Panic :

here is a screen capture of the console :




The disk is formatted with a boot Linux partition, followed by a big

Following the advices related to an analog problem (Giorgos) , I  
mounted the LVM partition in order to edit the fstab file.
The contents of this file are the following :

I'm quite new to Linux, but cannot see anything wrong here...

And by the way, these are very inexpensive and handy devices to have if 
you are the sort of person that juggles hardware around.  Some of them 
are just cables that will connect to any full or laptop sized IDE or 
SATA drive and you can even get VMware guests (and probably virtualbox) 
to connect to them if you need to access a format you can't read 
natively. (And to have some relevance here, they are obviously handy for 
clonezilla too).

You might want to use some other linux live CD, such as Knoppix, Insert,

Re: [Clonezilla-live] USB disks

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

I have successfully done what you describe on more than one occasion.

I do have a suggestion:  I have noticed that some IDE drives do not work 
with these USB-IDE adapters if they are jumpered for "Cable Select." 
This is usually fixed by temporarily using the "Master" jumper setting.

The packages I mentioned are also included in Clonezilla live. Therefore 
you can either use Clonezilla live, or what Bill mentioned, i.e.

Normally you will see something like:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/fine-print.php?path=./03_Disk_to_disk_clone/10-clone-finishes.doc#10-clone-finishes.doc

The grub will be reinstall again. And you should be able to boot the 
restored disk.
If you do not want grub to be install again, enter Expert mode, and 
uncheck "-g auto".

Re: [Clonezilla-live] copying files on hd with bad blocks

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

Sorry, Clonezilla is an image tool. Therefore it can not copy files only 
for you.
I think you can use ddrescue/gddrescue to dump the partition as an image 
file, then mount the image file to copy that.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] USB disks

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

It should be OK for Clonezilla live CD version.
It's recommended to plug USB disks before Cloneizlla live enter main menu.
When you do not see it, please:
1. Boot clonezilla live, and before the main menu of Clonezilla starts, 
plug USB disks .
2. Enter command line prompt
3. /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-live-bug-report
Then post the contents of created file.

[Clonezilla-live] Experimental branch has been renamed as "Alternative" one

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

Hi,
When we created Clonezilla live about 2 years ago, we named the
Ubuntu-based branch as "experimental" one, yes, that was for
experimental purpose then. Now it's not an appropriate name anymore.
Since most of the cases this one works well. Therefore from now on we
will use the name "alternative" for this branch.
For more info about the differences, please check:
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/57_why_ubuntu_based_clonezilla_live.faq#57_why_ubuntu_based_clonezilla_live.faq

Re: [Clonezilla-live] What about IP address when cloning ?

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

Hi,
It's possible to write a script to modify this after Clonezilla restores 
the image for you. Clonezilla provides an option "-o1" to let you run 
the script in the dir /opt/drbl/share/ocs/postrun/.
The script depends on the GNU/Linux distribution...

Re: [Clonezilla-live] "bitmap free count err" on Intel Mac

[Richard T. <ric...@gm...>]

Excellent. 1.2.2-20 did it. I was able to make a 24GB image (no
compression) in fifteen minutes.

I'll need to restore it to a different machine, which I haven't done
yet, but I don't anticipate any trouble restoring since I'm now able
to make an image.

Netboot and multicast support for Macs would be great, but unicast is
certainly a step forward and will be very helpful.

[Clonezilla-live] What about IP address when cloning ?

[RSCL M. <rsc...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have an FC9 server with 1 SATA disc of 160 GB and 24 GB of data.
I have an exactly same server as backup server.

We rsync `data` folders of the main server to the backup server.

It has been decide to image the HDD of the main server to the backup
server once per month to account for any OS level changes which was
not rsynced.

When I create an image of the main server and restore on the backup
server, I will have a problem with the network values.
The IP address will have to be manually changed to prevernt DUPLICATE
IP in the lan.
The MAC address will have to be changed to match the MAC address of
the backup server's lan card.
And the host name will have to be changed too.

I am sure many people must have tried this and have had to change
these network properties manually.
Is there any short-cut to avoid manually making these changes ?
I guess not, but I still thought of asking. You never know. There are
100s of smart people out there who do 100s of things the smarter was
:)

Do let me know your thoughts.

Thx
Vai

Re: [Clonezilla-live] "bitmap free count err" on Intel Mac

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

Richard,
An issue about HFS+ was fixed (actually it's fixed in partclone) in 
testing Clonezilla live 1.2.2-20, could you please give it a try ?
Please let us know the testing results there.

Steven.

I made a fresh installation (ext3 formated) and seems like everything
behaves normally now.

I think I'll stick with ext3 for the time being. :-)

THANKS AGAIN for your help!!!

Re: [Clonezilla-live] "bitmap free count err" on Intel Mac

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

Could you please give testing Clonezilla live 1.2.2-19 a try ?
You can download it from
http://www.clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/

It comes with newer partclone and some bugs were fixed, so maybe it helps.

Please let us know your testing results.

Steven.
