Hi, Which version of Clonezilla live did you use? Have you tried Clonezilla live 3.3.1-35 or 20260220-questing? https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php You can try to enter expert mode and check the option "-edio" of Clonezilla. If you run partclone directly, try to add the option "--read-direct-io".

Did you mean you want to do that for Clonezilla lite server?

Thanks for your suggestion. I do not think we will do this, due to: As a command line diehard. CLI is so neat and long-life. It would be easier to maintain one type. No two tracks, since we have very limited manpower in this project.

Too many messages and I still can not figure it out how to reproduce this issue here. If you can let me know the exact steps to install the system, step by step, and maybe I can have a system here to reproduce this issue.

"as first check could be the one for nc.traditional" -> It's in clonezilla package 5.15.5, and used in testing Clonezilla live 3.3.1-37. "this might be worth a bug report towards OpenBSD's netcat" -> I believe so.

@Roberto, BTW, have you tried the mode I mentioned: https://clonezilla.org//fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/11_lite_server I remember we included the USB network modules in the live system initrd. It's been a long time. If you can, please test it and if it fails, definitely we will fix it.

To include GParted is another story. It requires X-windows system but Clonezilla live only needs text, command line mode (CLI). This will make live system smaller and easier to be used for an experienced system administrator in a very limited environment.

"I can repair the system with a live kubuntu-24.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso , than the system is starting without initramfs error (Solution chroot, update-initramfs -u -k all)." -> So you meant you can fix it by booting kubuntu 24.04, chroot, then run update-initramfs. However, you can not make it by booting Clonezilla live, chroot then run "ocs-update-initrd"? "No, is my produktion system." -> Or you install that in a VM, make sure the issue is reproducible, then share the VM with us?
