Stable Clonezilla live 3.2.1-9 Released

This release of Clonezilla live (3.2.1-9) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 3.2.0-5

• The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2025/Mar/03).
• As mentioned in the Debian release mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2024/09/msg00220.html The i386 Linux kernel packages were dropped in our upstream, Debian, Sid repo, so i686/i686-pae version of Clonezilla live will be no more in the future. From this release, only amd64 (x86-64) release will be available.
• Linux kernel was updated to 6.12.17-1.
• Package partclone was updated to 0.3.33.
• Package ezio was updated to 2.0.15.
• Memtest86+ was updated to v7.20. Thanks to ottokang.
• Built with updated and patched live-build 20250225.
• Package live-boot was updated to new and patched version 20250225.
• Merged lz4 and lz4mt, use "lz4 -T0" by default. Hence the following extra_lz4* variables are dropped: extra_lz4_opt, extra_lz4mt_opt. This will be easier for user to customize that using boot parameters. Now only available variables for lz4 are: extra_lz4_opt, extra_lz4_dc_opt, extra_lz4_opt_onthefly & extra_lz4_dc_opt_onthefly. Thanks to ottokang for asking this.
• Added lz4-related boot parameters: extra_lz4_opt, extra_lz4_dc_opt, extra_lz4_opt_onthefly & extra_lz4_dc_opt_onthefly
• ocs-live-swap-kernel: added option "-l" to umount for kernel pseudo-filesystem: squashfs-root/{dev,proc,sys,run}. This will avoid the efivarfs is busy as squashfs-root/sys/firmware/efi/efivars.
• Added packages: pmount, jc, and util-linux-extra.
• Added an option in expert mode (-plu) so that user can copy clonezilla-related log files to Clonezilla live USB drive.A new file ocs-put-log-usb is used to copy log files to Clonezilla live USB drive.
• Use $ocs_log_dir (/var/log/clonezilla/) as log dir. All the Clonezilla-related log files will be under that dir.
• Add time tag in grub boot menu for live system.
• Restored to use the fail-mbr.bin from package drbl, not from partclone since it will be dropped in the future.
• Disabled btrfs support since partclone does not support it well.
• Improved the checksums mechanism for Clonezilla image. Make it read once and pass to multiple checksum programs. Thanks to barkoder. Ref: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/127
• The option "-r" as restoring/cloning is off by default. When "-k1" is used, option "-r" will be used, too. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/b4fe117c3c/
