This release of Clonezilla live (2.4.9-17) 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 2016/Oct/21).
* Linux kernel was updated to 4.7.8-1.
* Remove "nodmraid" from boot parameters in drbl-ocs.conf. Now
fakeraid/firmware raid is supported.
* Language files hu_HU, ja_JP.UTF-8, de_DE, fr_FR, it_IT, and es_ES
was updated. Thanks to Greg Marki, Akira YOSHIYAMA, Michael Vinzenz,
Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili, Juan Ramón Martínez
and Alex Ibáñez López.
* The drbl/clonezilla live version info will be put in
/etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf, and when an image is saved, the info will be
saved in Info-packages.txt.
* Applied patches from Aaron Burling, so now when mounting image
repository, it is able to browse the directories recursively.
* Force to make timeout of dhclient as 60 secs. Debian uses 60, but
Ubuntu uses 300. Too long. Thanks to Cecile, Adam (Adam.Cecile /at/
hitec lu) for reporting this.
* Add mechanism to detect bitlocker and Microsoft Reserved Partition
(MSR) in ocs-get-part-info.
* Add options -sfsck and -senc in the Clonezilla live interactive menu
for saving image modes. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling /at/
lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
* Ask the post action (choose, reboot, poweroff) before starting
cloning. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling /at/ lkstevens
wednet edu) for this idea.
* Add entry points by using boot parameters ocs_savedisk_prerun,
ocs_saveparts_prerun, ocs_restoredisk_prerun, and
ocs_restoreparts_prerun in ocs-sr. Thanks to Aaron Burling
(aaron_burling /at/ lkstevens wednet edu) for these ideas.
* Boot parameter ocs_overwrite_postaction has higher priority than the
action assigned by option "-p" in ocs-sr, and "-pa" in ocs-onthefly.
The value for ocs_overwrite_postaction is:
[choose|reboot|poweroff]-on-[restoredisk|restoreparts|savedisk|saveparts|clone]
E.g., choose-on-restoredisk means the postaction for restoredisk
will always be choose no matter what is assigned in -p of ocs-sr or
-pa of ocs-onthefly. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling /at/
lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
* Now ocs-live-preload checks if
/opt/{overwrite-all-boot-param,overwrite-part-boot-param} exists
(Downloaded from root of ocs_preload). File overwrite-all-boot-param
is to overwrite the whole /proc/cmdline, while
overwrite-part-boot-param only overwrites part of the variables in
/proc/cmdline. Especially those "ocs_*" parameters. Thanks to Aaron
Burling (aaron_burling /at/ lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea and
providing sample codes.
* Packages dislocker, ext4magic, myrescue, os-prober, powertop were added.
BUG FIXES
* Inform kernel partition changes only when disk is not busy. This
should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/265/
* Replace boot parameter noprompt with noeject since live-boot >= v3
uses noeject, not noprompt.
* Live-boot failed to mount vfat device as the boot media for
Clonezilla live. Thanks to Little Vulpix for reporting this issue.

* Failed to create the checksum files for files in LV, i.e., when
option "-gmf" or "-cmf" is enabled. Thanks to Mircea Dan. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/260/
* Change /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable to 1 when running i686
Linux kernel and the RAM size is larger than 8 GB. Thanks to Little
Vulpix for this suggestion. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
* Clean file system/LVM info before creating partition table. Thanks
to Mircea Dan (byreal /at/ users sf net) and Pete Morris (morrispj
/at/ jmu edu) for reporting this issue. Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/254/
* Disable service systemd-timesyncd. Clonezilla live should not change
the system time. Thanks to Rick and rfried for reporting this issue.
