ReFS ( Windows server filesystem ) support ?

Better text menu presentation

Just to report that with the latest version (3.2.2-2 ) this "Box" problem is now solved. Find out the problem in a HP Z400 workstation . as "Bagged 9008 " indicated the detail was in fact related to the the "space" in the Win partition "EFI SYSTEM" name , whereas all the machine that had this beaviour had the most recent win installations in UEFI mode. Monday I will try to apply this version to the industrial PCs . Thank for you the great support and dedication Mr. Steven Shiau .

Thank you for the screenshots, as I posted initially the pasted text is exactly those screenschots. Nonetheless the result from steven Shiau request works as it should ... Although I do not have right the possibility to upload the screenshots nor the text . Only monday I have access again to reply fully. But in one test all the above commands ( individally ) showed the correct information expected. In the industrial PC I had an internal SSD ; the Clonezilla / ventoy USB device and an external USB...

Sorry for the late reply , but only yesterday had another batch of machines to test. Tested with latest plucky version and the problem is still present...

As seen, there is after listing the partitions , the "box" error with an almost empty screen with no further information ...

Another odd detail... this machine is booting via UEFI with "NO secureboot" flag active . It does NOT show the startup Menu, Booting automatically by default until the selecting clonezilla and or the "enter_shell" TUI menu screen . No option to select the " Clonezilla TO_RAM" startup mode ...

After some more testing it seems that the /tmp/ocsmenu.yyyy file is touched , but afterwards is deleted ... ( opened in parallel another TTY and found out the ocsmenu.yyy file with 0 bytes . .. But afterwards It disappears after I select the devices ... Somewhere along the way the log mecanism is not working .... Any more ideas ?
