    Hey there, sorry for bringing this up again, but i couldn't find any entries regarding these issues. has this been resolved? I'd imagine 1. and 2. would be very helpful to improve deploy speeds. We observed maximum 3 peers and there is no place where it can be configured in TUI. Can something be done that clients will stay up after completing restore to 100% and continue to upload to restoring systems?

  • Dave English Dave English posted a comment on discussion Clonezilla live

    While waiting for a response I decided I would try to only restore the boot partition, and the "C" drive partition from the complete drive image as the 3rd partition is easy to just copy the data after the restore. But what would normally take about 30 minutes to restore the "C" drive part of the image is now going to take over 4 hours. I'm not sure why but am guessing that restoring a partition works differently than restoring a complete drive image?

    I cloned a 1 TB drive to my Samba Server, then tried to restore the image to a different 1 TB drive but get an error that image is larger than the free space on drive, so I restored the image to the original 1 TB drive, then used a Windows utility to shrink the free space and then created a new smaller image. Then tried to restore it and received the same error that the image is too large for the destination drive. Apparently it made the image of the complete drive. Is there a way to edit the image...

    Hi Steven, Been doing some more testing of my verification issues (previous comment 2025-02-21)... For faster backups I switched to using a new internal NTFS SSD instead of the external NTFS USB drive (This took USB out of the equation as well). It doubled my backup speed but still got occasional CRC verification failures. I know from experience that writing NTFS from Linux can cause NTFS FS corruption so I decided to make my Clonezilla target EXT4 instead of NTFS (to rule out any NTFS FS issues)....

    Somehow we missed this request... Definitely this can be done. However, UUID is only when the file system exists. PartUUID is only when partition exists. Hence it only works for partition to partition, not disk to disk. We will think about implement this in the future for partition to partition cloning. Steven

    That's the problem. I'm not wanting to reduce network I/O but blanace the network I/O with the load from compression. Currently the two processes are not operating at the same time, the compression is happening first then the transfer thus making the whole process longer than it needs to be although the compression option obviously is doing its job. I want to know if compression on the fly (at the same time as compressing the data writing to the samba network destination file). Even if the compression...

    Good Day . . . This issue is confusing me. Your Clonezilla program should do an exact byte by byte copy of the source to destination but in my case it does not. I first compared my nvme OS MBR to the backup Clonezilla copy. Both were full of 0's. No data was located in either one. It is in fact an uefi system. I then compared the boot folders. Both contained two sub folders. One was grub. Both copies held 8 identical items in the grub folder. The other directory was titled /boot/efi. This is where...

    What I tried to report is that in UEFI mode ( I think) , there is NO Menu to select the differente clonezilla modes. It seems that in that specific UEFI machine type , clonezilla boots in a default nonchangable mode . nonetheless in the second ticket is the text present in the console ( withe escape codes) ... As seen, there is after listing the partitions , the "box" error with an almost empty screen with no further information ...

    "No option to select the " Clonezilla TO_RAM" startup mode ..." -> You can find that in the other modes of boot menu. Steven

    You should use the copy & paste way, forget about /tmp/ocsmenu.yyyy file. Steven

    The existing checksum methods are good for making sure the image hasn't been damaged and that it's been correctly restored to the target. But, if it has been damaged, there's really nothing you can do about it. Since copying only used sectors and compressing seriously reduces the image size, it might be nice to have a checksum option that generates parity data at some level of redundancy. This way damage to the image can not only be detected, but possibly repaired as well. Obviously this can be done...

    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 ?

    I tested with the latest 3.2.1-21 ( debian) version and the error is still present. At the end of the above procedure It reports a /tmp/ocs.tmp ( random letters namefile) , but at the next shell prompt the file is gone ... Using bash -x clonezzila | tee filenameyy.log reports this : [?1049h(B)0[?25l                   ...

    Clonezilla does not support RAID well. Hence you have to deal with the RAID device manually. Steven

    Please give testing Clonezilla live >= 3.2.1-21 a try. Steven

  • Steven Shiau Steven Shiau posted a comment on ticket #429

    If you are familiar with the command "screen", you can help us to get debug info. Please: 1. Boot Clonezilla live 3.2.1-21, and enter command line prompt 2. sudo -i 3. screen 4. bash -x clonezilla Then continue to get the error messages. Please copy & paste all the output on the screen from the beginning to a file, i.e., the output on the screen from "bash -x clonezilla" to the error messages. Please share the file. Thanks.

    Hello. I wanted to move a system from one pc to another so i used clonezilla device-device cloning mode. The cloning was succesful but the disk is not seen as bootable after being installed into the new pc. Anyone knows what went wrong?

    Hi.... I previously backed-up partitions using Clonezilla 3.2.0-5 with zst compression. Those partitions are local and backed-up to a different local partition in same disk. I have an external USB HDD, too, it's about 2TB free space. The question: I want a file, only a single file , it's a configuration file. How do i get that file? I was trying to use this command so later I can mount this image to /mnt or somewhere else, but had no luck: zstd -dc -T0 /media/akrogun/DATA/IMAGE/Kubuntu/sda7.ext4-ptcl-img.zst...
