Clonezilla live 20201016-groovy

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Groovy repository (as of 2020/Oct/16).
  • Implement a better mechanism to run ocs-onthefly: Now ocs-onthefly mainly uses ocs-sr to save the pseudo image, and let partclone do the device to device clone. This is similar to that of Clonezilla lite server. Due to this improvement, some major changes for ocs-othefly in order to sync with that of ocs-sr:
    1. These options have been changed to totally different meanings: -d|--destination|--target was -t|--target -po|--port was -p|--port --net-filter was -i|--filter -p|-pa|--postaction was -pa|--postaction -u|--use-nuttcp was -u|--use-netcat
    2. New options: -t|--no-restore-mbr -t1|--restore-raw-mbr -t2|--no-restore-ebr

By default, the network cloning is changed to use zstd to compress the data instead of gzip.

  • ocs-sr's option -f|--from-part-in-img is changed as -f|--from-part since it now supports both from an image and a device.
  • ocs-update-initrd: Remove useless prompt.
  • cnvt-ocs-dev: dev-fs.list should be converted, too. Add a tag file device_name_converted.info in the converted image.
  • For drbl-ocs.conf:Remove : PARTCLONE_RESTORE_ONTHEFLY_OPT_INIT
    Add
    ONTHEFLY_NET_PIPE="nuttcp" NC_PORT_DEFAULT="9000" PARTCLONE_LOG="/var/log/partclone.log"
  • If a disk has not any partition, it can not be the source for ocs-onthefly. It will just quit to avoiding confusion.
  • Add "--rsyncable" for zstd saving.
  • Since zstdmt is equivalent to zstd -T0, remove "-T${cpu_no}" in extra_zstdmt_opt.
  • Use -np|--net-pipe PROGRAM instead of -u|--use-netcat in ocs-onthefly so that it's easier to switch, and it can be selected in the expert mode.

Clonezilla live 20180926-cosmic

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Cosmic repository (as of 2018/Sep/26).
  • Package curl was added. Thanks to andrew441973 for asking this.
  • In addition to massive-deployment mode, the interactive-client mode was added so that lite server can provide the ability to enter interactive mode of Clonezilla live in the clients.
  • Add boot parameter "secure_boot_client" so that the mechanism of secure boot for uEFI client can be enabled. By putting "secure_boot_client=yes" in the boot parameters, this mechanism is enabled. However, this secure boot mechanism for clients is not complete for massive deployment, because there are two limits for signed shim and grub: (1) Shim and grub do not honor the proxy offer packet. Therefore so far the only solution is to run a standalone DHCP service in lite server.

    Ref: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2016-04/msg00051.html

    http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2017q1/011347.html (2) grub lacks the ability to autoload grub2's config file when netbooting. Therefore the client will enter Clonezilla mode again in the next booting after a restoring job is done. It's better to choose to shutdown the clients when starting Clonezilla lite server.

    2. /EFI/boot/grub.cfg is moved to /boot/grub/grub.cfg now.

Add ocs_server in the client's boot parameters for Clonezilla lite server. This is due to a ps (from procps-ng 3.3.15) issue that somehow it can not list the PID by this command: ps -C ocs-live-get-img.

Clonezilla live 20171005-artful

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Artful repository (as of 2017/Oct/05).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.13.0-12.13.
  • Add a workaround to make dnsmasq relay work for uEFI network boot clients. i.e., we have to assign the tftp server IP address in grub network boot loader. This is only necessary when dnsmasq is used to relay the DHCP request from clients to existing DHCP service Ref: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2017q1/011124.html
  • Bug fixed: /EFI/centos/grubx64.efi should be before /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi. Thanks to Fritzinger, Bernd (Bernd.Fritzinger at bruker com).

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Artful repository (as of 2017/Sep/26).

  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.12.13-1.
  • Add boot parameter ocs_netlink_timeout so that the network link detection timeout can be assigned for ocs-live-netcfg.
  • A testing massive deployment mechanism was added: bittorrent. //NOTE// (1) This mechanism is still in testing. Bugs are expected. (2) Clonezilla has to convert the original image to the special format

    when bittorrent mode is used. This will require more space in the image repository.

  • Add an option -cbm to ocs-live-feed-img. Besides, remove boot parameter ocs_litesrv_mode. It's better to assign that in the command line option (-dm) when running ocs-live-feed-img, e.g., ocs-live-feed-img -cbm netboot -dm auto-detect -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -x -j2 -sc0 -p reboot -md multicast --clients-to-wait 1 --max-time-to-wait 300 start myimg sda
  • Support using UUID and LABEL as image repository, i.e., local_dev for image repository can be assigned as: dev:///LABEL|UUID|PARTLABEL|PARTUUID=uuid|label. E.g., ocs_repository="dev:///UUID=84b012cc-5a4c-41e2-bf20-620d028072cb"
  • Simply the S08speakup. Remove those not-working commands during booting, like sleep.
  • Due to an issue about systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, the booting will take longer. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/

  • Now ocs-live-preload check 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.
  • 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.
  • A workaround to avoid the warning: continue: only meaningful in a `for', `while', or `until' loop Because >= bash 4.4 raises it as a warning, and then continue won't be run.
  • Inform kernel partition changes only when disk is not busy. This should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/265/

  • 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.
  • Add option -sfsck in the menu for ocs-onthefly.

  • 20081007-intrepid
    • Package usbutils was added in Clonezilla live packages list. Thanks to carlfk for this suggestion.
    • Functions related to turn_on_hd_dma were polished. Thanks to Carl Karsten for this bug reporting.
    • An option was added: --dump-mbr-in-the-end. This option allows us to use dd to dump the MBR (total 512 bytes, i.e. 446 bytes (executable code area) + 64 bytes (table of primary partitions) + 2 bytes (MBR signature; # 0xAA55) = 512 bytes) after disk image was restored. This is an insurance for some hard drive has different numbers of cylinder, head and sector between image was saved and restored. Thanks to Luis F. Gimilio for this idea.

    • Updated with Ubuntu 8.10 beta repository on Oct/05/2008.
    • ocs-functions was updated with patched ntfsclone (support -V, --ignore-bitmap-check). Now the messages when saving and restoring ntfs will be more verbose, and it's possible to force to save a ntfs partition with extra bitmaps.

    • live-initramfs was patched so that the error message about "/lib/libpcre.so.3 not found" is gone.
  • 20080731-intrepid
    • For PXE booting, the patched live-initramfs supports fetch=tftp://$IP/filesystem.squashfs.
