Activity for Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL)

  • Steven Shiau Steven Shiau posted a comment on discussion DRBL for Debian/Ubuntu/B2D

    Not sure. Did you check the log files, e.g., /var/log/syslong? Maybe you can find some clues. BTW, if what you need DRBL is for Clonezilla massive deployment function, you can also try this mode: https://clonezilla.org//clonezilla-SE/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php i.e., use Clonezilla live as the client's OS when deploying. In addition, you can also use Clonezilla lite server: https://clonezilla.org///fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/11_lite_server Steven

    You still can find the archived files here: http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-live/testing/ Actually due to some technical issues, we do not create newer DRBL live. It's recommended to use Clonezilla lite server if you need Clonezilla server functions.

    Hi Steven, thank you very much for your reply. Now the USB to ethernet adapter works. There is a small problem that is that when the image finishes restoring then I choose the restart option but the computer does not restart, it stays blocked with the black screen and the cursor, I have to hold down the power button until the computer turns off . If instead of choosing to restart I choose to turn off, it has the same result. Comment that during the drblpush -i configuration I choose the option "Use...

    If you use DRBL is for Clonezilla SE purpose, I suggest you can try this mode: https://clonezilla.org//clonezilla-SE/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php In addition, give different versions of Clonezilla live a try, e.g., the latest testing one, 20240625-oracular: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php Steven

    Good afternoon, I am using drbl installed on an Ubuntu 22.04 server, so far I have had no problems. I have a batch of HP 840 G8 laptops, these laptops do not have a ethernet card so I use a USB to ethernet adapter. The problem is that when I start from the USB it starts to load, it is automatically assigned an IP but it stays frozen in "mounting /proc filesystem". I have tried 2 adapters, one adapter with RTL8153 chipset and another with RTL8156 but the result is the same in both. Attachment screenshot....

  • Steven Shiau Steven Shiau posted a comment on discussion DRBL for Debian/Ubuntu/B2D

    Basically what you are doing is correct. However, there is the command from Clonezilla "create-ocs-tmp-img" you can try, it will save disk space. Please run "create-ocs-tmp-img -h" to know how to do it. Steven

  • Santi Santi posted a comment on discussion DRBL for Debian/Ubuntu/B2D

    Good afternoon Alexis, If you deploy an image with a SATA interface, you cannot restore that same image on a PC with an NVME interface, even if the source PC and the destination PC are the same model. What I do is implement two images of the same PC model, one image with a SATA interface and the other image with an NVME interface. This is what I do, any other solution?

    relative noob here, used the goof-proof default menu option. I simply wanted to go ssd for better speed, and went for 1T instead of my old 500M. Eventually the Clonezilla seemed to work well, but Winderz is still showing 500M as my drive size. Any ideas?

    " Will it be possible to use USB type-C Ethernet Network Adapter on an ultra-flat notebook that does not have a LAN port to be able to clone with Clenezilla server?" -> It should work if the Linux kernel supports that. Or you can actually boot Clonezilla live on that machine to deploy the image for the image repository. Steven

    If you clone your dual boot systems to an external disk, remember to remove the original source disk if you want to boot from your external disk. Put two identical OSes or file systems on a same machine will confuse your OS, and it might damage its booting mechanism. Steven

  • Aguero Pablo Daniel Aguero Pablo Daniel posted a comment on discussion DRBL for Debian/Ubuntu/B2D

    Hi, I found a solution by using "mount.exfat-fuse" instead of "mount -t exfat". By using FUSE I had no problem to perform saves or restores. https://packages.debian.org/buster/exfat-fuse Thank you. Pablo.

  • Steven Shiau Steven Shiau posted a comment on discussion DRBL for Debian/Ubuntu/B2D

    "Folder /home/partimag is mounted as : mount /dev/sdb3 /home/partimag/ (/dev/sdb3 is an exfat partition)." -> Did you do this after running "drblpush -i"? If so, you have to run "drblpush -i" again. If will detect the image repository and if it's not the same as /home, the NFS exports file will be updated and your image repository will be seen by your clients. Steven

  • Francy2007 Francy2007 posted a comment on discussion Help

    Greetings, since I have 8 USB ports I will solve the problem by using the 6 that work well. The 2 that do not go with external SSD, instead go with pendrive and DAC and therefore I will use them with the latter. However, I wanted to ask one last question. Can cloned dual boot (on SSD) work on a PC other than the original one? If I test on a laptop with Windows 11, booting from the SSD with dual boot, can I cause damage to the PC or Windows 11? Best regards. Vincent

    Clonezilla has actually cloned the disk for you, so the rest is the restored OS. It seems your hardware driver or something has changed due to the new hardware (hard drive? SSD? NVMe?). Hence you have to try to reinstall or re-detect your hardware driver in your MS Windows. So please check your hardware manager. Try to remove that and reinstall the drivers. Steven

    In addition to the previous post, i specify that two usb ports do not work (both on Windows and Linux) when I connect a 500 gb Toshiba ssd, which however is recognized when connected to all the other ports. The strange thing is that the two ports work when I use the 16 gb Lexar pendrive on which Clonezilla is installed. Vincent

  • Francy2007 Francy2007 posted a comment on discussion Help

    Hi Steven, i solved it, dual boot works perfectly. The problem was booting from a cloned disk on an external ssd connected via usb. I cloned it onto a new internal ssd which i then replaced with the internal hdd in the pc and connected via sata. The only problem after cloning: the usb port on the back of the pc, into which i inserted the usb pendrive with Clonezilla, is no longer working. If you can tell me how to solve it, otherwise it doesn't matter since i have several usb ports. Best regards....

    This depends on your MS Windows. It might detect your new hardware and your MS Windows lacks the required drivers, so... Just check the error messages from MS Windows, and google that.

    disregard I discovered its an issue with the kernel not properly supporting a Lenovo / realtek NIC that the client pc needs to use for PXE to work... not sure I have a solution, but I have the question posed in another thread so the lenovo laptop gets the drbl filesystem, and then upon loading the kernal, the linux kernal for booting to the menu doesnt work with the lenovo adapter that was just used to pxe boot....... so if anybody has a solution to that... well... see my other thread https://so...

    Hi all, I installed DRBL server and it works fine but I am using a server with iSCSI configuration and I don't want this configuration and scripts on client computers. I have read that I could start a client with Full-DRBL mode, modify the settings to dissable ISCSI and then use it as a template to run on other nodes as DRBL-SSI: faq http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/75_modify_DRBL_SSI_mode_setting.faq#75_modify_DRBL_SSI_mode_setting.faq I have executed these commands but when I...

    Thanks for this bug report. In addition to this issue, because Ubuntu uses snapd, and this actually causes some of the packages which we can not share to the DRBL clients with NFS. This makes DRBL does not support Ubuntu >=22.04 so far. Is your purpose using DRBL on Ubuntu 22.04 for Clonezilla SE, or diskless clients? Steven

    UPDATE: I walked through the code for drblpush and found it calls another program drbl-get-dnsserver. That code includes the following: # On Ubuntu, dnsmasq with network-manager, the result might 127.0.0.1. We use nm-tool to get the real one # Ubuntu >= 17.10 or Debian >= 9, use "systemd-resolve --status" The problem is that Ubuntu 22 systemd-resolv has been replaced by resolvectl.

    Hi. I've been running a Clonezilla server forever, but it was stuck at Ubuntu 12, so I decided to build a new one. It's in a VM based on Ubuntu 22.04 server. I set up the LAN NIC as 192.168.56.1 static. WAN NIC is DHCP. When I run drblpush -i it fails with the nameserver unset message. I've added the nameserver line to /etc/drbl/drblpush.conf but it didn't help. I then added it to /etc/resolv.conf and that didn't help either. Here's the output: root@cz05:/home/pete# drblpush -i ******************************************************...
