Clonezilla LiveCD Changelog

What's new in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.6.3-7

Sep 27, 2019
  • ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Sep/03).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 5.2.9-2.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.3.13+git0819-2f1830e-drbl1.
  • Remove zfs-fuse since it's too old. The support for zfs mounting using openzfs can be found in Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live >= 20190903 releases.
  • Package partclone-utils was updated with new upstream on Aug/29/2019: https://github.com/prekageo/partclone-utils
  • Modify parameters about BT in drbl-ocs.conf: Use gen-torrent-from-ptcl (ezio-ptcl) to create torrent file from torrent.info, not using transmission-create anymore. This could save a lot of time when the source image is big.
  • Remove "-t 3 -k 60" from ezio_seeder_opt, i.e., keep ezio seeder in the server all the time until it's killed by ocs-live-feed-img stop.
  • Add a new sample program custom-ocs-3.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Package live-tools was updated to 20190627. The issue about poweroff/reboot should have been fixed: failed to execute shutdown binary freezing execution.
  • Add thin-provisioning-tools in drbl/clonezilla live packages list, and device-mapper-persistent-data in the PKG_TO_QUERY of drbl.conf. Thanks to Tseng Wynn (wynn1212 at gmail com) for reporting this bug.
  • Fix a typo in zh_TW.UTF-8. Thanks to Chih-Hsuan Yen: https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/drbl/merge_requests/12
  • Avoid torrent.info created by Partclone being included in the torrent file. This should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_server_edition/thread/15c3efbffa and https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/aba35adf97
  • Separate 32-bit and 64-bit syslinux when running makeboot.sh. Thanks to Martin Mokrejs for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/326/
  • Update the mechanism to generate new machine-id for restored GNU/Linux. Thanks to Peter Sun for reporting the issue and providing the solution.
  • Add option -iui for ocs-onthefly, and implement the ocs-update-initrd for restored GNU/Linux.
  • Bug fixed: the source IP address for disk to remote disk was not shown in the source (server) side when there is one NIC configured.

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.6.2-15 (Jul 12, 2019)

  • ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Jul/07).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.19.37-5.
  • Package live-config was updated to 5.20190519.drbl1.
  • Make sure label will have one name only in update-efi-nvram-boot-entry.
  • Improve the mechanism to update uEFI nvram boot entry. It's the same way as boot-local-efi.cfg.
  • Default to run ocs-update-initrd for the restored OS when running ocs-sr. This helps to make initramfs work for different hardware, especially the GNU/Linux distribution which uses dracut, e.g., CentOS. The option "-iui" can be used for ocs-sr to ignore running ocs-update-initrd.
  • Language files were updated: ca_ES, de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, hu_HU, it_IT, ja_JP, pl_PL, and tr_TR. Thanks to René Mérou, Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Greg Hefty, Gianfranco Gentili, Akira YOSHIYAMA, Kris, and Volkan Gezer.
  • The boot menu was sorted. KMS with large font (for HiDPI monitor) is now at 1st level with hotkey "l". Two more menus were added in uEFI boot menu: 1. uEFI firmware setup 2. Clonezilla live version info
  • The mechanism to search local OS on the 1st hard drive of uEFI machine was updated. Now the OS name can be shown in the boot menu if it's found.
  • Package rdfind was added in Clonezilla live.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • To avoid ezio quits too quickly on server side, add option "-t 1 -k 60" when starting ezio.
  • No need to press enter when batch mode is off about warning MBR disk > 4 TB.
  • Package live-boot was updated to 1:20190627-drbl1, which uses ntfs-3g instead of kernel module ntfs.ko to mount the file system. Ref: https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-boot/commit/9d6ee1504a8ec6d1f386b12be24113df9c23a6b0
  • In addition, it also addresses this memdisk issue: https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-boot/commit/b3a1cb85646f363ab5c4d7b045000ef6dbf33699, and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/issues/50 live-boot was patched to fix an DNS issue in initramfs: https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-boot/commit/ed2bc296f8d113e2bb3aa702e2ababd1bcfd64ac
  • Package live-tools was patched https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-tools/commit/7b0ed1e19034925fd0a17626b5b561f24fd5d291 This would avoid systemd shutdown/reboot failure. Otherwise when live-medium eject is run, it would cause an error when shutting down or rebooting: failed to execute shutdown binary freezing execution

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.6.1-25 (Apr 30, 2019)

  • ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Apr/20).
  • From this release the AMD64 version works for uEFI secure boot.
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.19.28-2.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.3.12+git00e0212.
  • Package ezio-static was updated to 1.1.8.
  • Package vbetool was added. Thanks to Joerg Schiermeier for asking this
  • Package mbmon was added.
  • Add USB NIC modules in initramfs of live system. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_server_edition/thread/de7c4f810a/
  • A new mode for Clonezilla lite server was added: massive deployment from raw device using bittorrent mechanism. About the usage, please check https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/12_lite_server_BT_from_dev
  • For Clonezilla lite sever, change ezio_seeder_extra_opt as ezio_seeder_opt. Add two more options: ezio_leecher_opt and ezio_common_opt in drbl-ocs.conf. These three options can also be overwritten if it's assigned in boot parameters.
  • Assign "-t 1" for ezio_leecher_opt so that ezio will timeout in 1 min.
  • Add nuttcp as an alternative to netcat in ocs-onthefly. Add dialog for choosing compression algorithm in expert mode. Option "-u" was added in the dialog of expert mode to use nuttcp.
  • To avoid OOM killer to kill ezio, we use the multi torrent files support (ezio >= 1.1.6) and limit the cache size. It can be tuned by ezio_cache_ratio in drbl-ocs.conf.
  • Add a mechanism to reuse image for BT from raw device mode. The option -mdst-img can be used to assign the existing pseudo image.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Can't create disk image if swap is provided by logical volume listed in crypttab. Thanks to Constantino Michailidis for providing the patch file. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/314/
  • Add sleep .1 before cat /proc/partitions to file. Thanks to Zibarov Volodymyr. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/318/
  • Label parsed from EFI boot entry was wrong when multiple OSs are available. This should fix the issue that bricks Dell's machine: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/310/. Thanks to Dell US & Taiwan, and AMI Taiwan.
  • Live USB version of Clonezilla live should not link /home/partimag to /run/live/medium/home/partimag/ when there is no images exist in /run/live/medium/home/partimag/. The find command was wrong.
  • Option "-p poweroff" of ocs-sr did not work when saving partition image with image checking is enabled. Previous fix only works for savedisk. Thanks to ski-777 for reporting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ff5b0d60

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.6.0-37 (Jan 10, 2019)

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Jan/08).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.19.13-1.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.3.12+gitfeb58af.
  • Package ldmtool and haveged were added.
  • Package curl was added. Thanks to andrew441973 for asking this.
  • Package network-manager was added so that user can use "nmtui" to configure network if it's necessary, especially for wifi.
  • Make unknown fs as "dd", and the image name for partition like: sda3.dd-img.aa is now a legacy. It's replaced by sda3.dd-ptcl-img.lzma.aa. Rewrite the same mechanism in ocs-onthefly.
  • 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.
  • Let live-build 20180618 handle uEFI boot, so ocs-put-signed-grub2-efi-bldr and ocs-gen-grub2-efi-bldr are deprecated. The changes...
  • /boot/grub/efiboot.img is /boot/grub/efi.img now.
  • /EFI/boot/grub.cfg is moved to /boot/grub/grub.cfg now.
  • Temporarily disable dislocker-find in ocs-get-part-info due to some issues: (1) It's broken in Debian Sid.

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.5.5-38 (Apr 13, 2018)

  • ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2018/Mar/30).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.15.11-1.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.3.11-drbl3 with some libraries updated. //NOTE// New image format is used in this release. It is different from the one saved by Partclone 0.2.x.
  • New massive deployment mechanism bittorrent was added. //NOTE// Clonezilla has to convert the original image to the special format when bittorrent mode is used. This will require more disk space in the image repository.
  • Switch keymap configuration method from console-data to keyboard-configuration. Ref: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=893612
  • Update language files de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, hu_HU, ja_JP, it_IT, tr_TR and sk_SK. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Greg Hefty, Akira YOSHIYAMA, ianfranco Gentili, Volkan Gezer and Ondrej Dzivy Balucha.
  • Add channel bonding option when configuring network. Thanks to panther_1 for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/61/
  • Make prep-ocsroot can use disk block device (e.g., /dev/sdc) as image repository. Thanks to Riksoft for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/288/
  • Add options -pe and -pfe to ocs-sr. This allows user to enter password in the command options although it's not safe. Thanks to ub2 at gmx ch for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/d3af2134
  • New compression lz4/lz4mt (-z8/-z8p) and zstd/pzstd (-z9/-z9p) were added in expert mode.
  • Make ocs-chnthn work for device name like /dev/nvme0n1p1. This change should really fix the issue reported here: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/30
  • Remove "-p 16" for pigz in drbl-ocs.conf. It should let pigz to decide that automatically.
  • Package drbl-chntpw is no more used, and now we switch to use reged from package chntpw.
  • The file efiboot.img has been moved to /boot/grub/ from /EFI/image from /EFI/image/.
  • 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
  • Add boot parameter ocs_netlink_timeout so that the network link detection timeout can be assigned for ocs-live-netcfg.
  • 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"
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Jfbterm should not exit when lite server is running. It would terminate the required service for clients to restore image, especially BT service in non-English environment.
  • Cnvt-ocs-dev failed to convert EBR (like sda2-ebr). Thanks to killuaDK for reporting this: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/b851e095
  • Ocs-chnthn now supports modifying Win10 hostname. Thanks to František Griga for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/100/
  • /EFI/centos/grubx64.efi should be before /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi. Thanks to Fritzinger, Bernd (Bernd.Fritzinger at bruker com).

  • Add SMB version selection when mounting CIFS. Thanks to Eric Nichols for asking this.
  • Add packages brltty and espeakup. Thanks to Nick Gawronski for this suggestion.
  • Add packages sshpass and keychain.
  • A lite server was added in Clonezilla live. It can be used as Clonezilla server, with limited features, but works for most of the scenarios. Therefore re-arrange the main menu of Clonezilla live as: "device-image", "device-device", "remote-source", "remote-dest", "lite-server", "lite-client". Thanks to Aaron Burling for providing suggestions.
  • Boot parameter "ocs_litesrv_mode" was added for lite server presetting: use-existing-dhcpd, start-new-dhcpd, auto-detect, no-dhcpd. Thanks to Aaron Burling for providing suggestions.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Detect if terminal supports color output before using color outputs in the terminal. Thanks to TF for asking this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ec46f3a3/
  • When creating partition table on a disk, Clonezilla should wait for partition name with extra p, like nvme0n1p1, to take effect. Thanks Bruno Vila Vilariño for reporting this issue.
  • Failed to use the serial number with space. Thanks to Matt Broadstone for providing the patch. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/266/
  • Package whiptail was updated which improves handling of long strings in menu.

  • Language file ca_ES was updated. Thanks to René Mérou.
  • Update gen-rec-iso by adding option -k1 in ocs-sr.
  • Choose "Enter_shell" should not give any error. This should fix the issue reported at: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/a44f2814
  • Timezone issue. Thanks to Albert25.
  • Remove partprobe command after ocs-scan-disk. Sometimes it delays the GPT partition to be shown in /proc/partitions.

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.4.9-17 (Oct 26, 2016)

  • ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Oct/21).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.7.8-1.
  • Remove "nodmraid" from boot parameters in drbl-ocs.conf. Now fakeraid/firmware raid is supported.
  • Language files hu_HU, ja_JP.UTF-8, de_DE, fr_FR, it_IT, and es_ES was updated. Thanks to Greg Marki, Akira YOSHIYAMA, Michael Vinzenz, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili, Juan Ramón Martínez and Alex Ibáñez López.
  • 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.
  • Applied patches from Aaron Burling, so now when mounting image repository, it is able to browse the directories recursively.
  • Force to make timeout of dhclient as 60 secs. Debian uses 60, but Ubuntu uses 300. Too long. Thanks to Cecile, Adam (Adam.Cecile at hitec lu) for reporting this.
  • Add mechanism to detect bitlocker and Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) in ocs-get-part-info.
  • Add options -sfsck and -senc in the Clonezilla live interactive menu for saving image modes. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
  • Ask the post action (choose, reboot, poweroff) before starting cloning. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
  • Add entry points by using boot parameters ocs_savedisk_prerun, ocs_saveparts_prerun, ocs_restoredisk_prerun, and ocs_restoreparts_prerun in ocs-sr. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for these ideas.
  • 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.
  • Now ocs-live-preload checks 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.
  • Packages dislocker, ext4magic, myrescue, os-prober, powertop were added.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Inform kernel partition changes only when disk is not busy. This should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/265/
  • Replace boot parameter noprompt with noeject since live-boot >= v3 uses noeject, not noprompt.
  • Live-boot failed to mount vfat device as the boot media for Clonezilla live. Thanks to Little Vulpix for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
  • Failed to create the checksum files for files in LV, i.e., when option "-gmf" or "-cmf" is enabled. Thanks to Mircea Dan. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/260/
  • Change /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable to 1 when running i686 Linux kernel and the RAM size is larger than 8 GB. Thanks to Little Vulpix for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
  • Clean file system/LVM info before creating partition table. Thanks to Mircea Dan (byreal at users sf net) and Pete Morris (morrispj at jmu edu) for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/254/
  • Disable service systemd-timesyncd. Clonezilla live should not change the system time. Thanks to Rick and rfried for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/b2667447

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.4.7-8 (Jul 5, 2016)

  • Partclone-utils was updated to 0.4.1.
  • When option "-k1" or "-k2" in the TUI is chosen, "-icds" is on automatically.
  • Add "-batch" in the TUI for expert saving mode.
  • Provide an option to mount image repository again when failing in ocs-live-repository. "ask_user" is a reserved name to be used as the Samba domain and account and SSHFS account in the URI so that user can input their own names. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for these ideas.
  • If failing to mount sshfs and samba server as image repository, clonezilla now asks if retrying.
  • Use shorter name for fsck-related options, i.e. "-fsck-src-part" is replaced by "-fsck", and "-fsck-src-part-y" is replaced by "-fsck-y".
  • Reuse the parsed partition info when detecting the data/swap/extended partitions. Thanks to starnavi for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba256b4b
  • Add support for device /dev/nbd. Thanks to Mircea Dan for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/
  • thread/d2d2a480/
  • Boot parameter ocs_preload now supports mount command for nfs/cifs to preload files. E.g. ocs_preload="mount -t cifs //192.168.120.2/images/ / tmp/cifs -o user=administrator,password=yourpasswd" will preload files on cifs server to /opt/ in Clonezilla live environment.
  • Add a mechanism so that image repository can be auto mounted with boot parameter ocs_repository in URI format, e.g. ocs_repository="dev:///dev/
  • sdf1" or ocs_repository="smb://wa-domain;jack:[email protected]/ images". Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet
  • edu) for this idea.
  • Live-boot was updated so that its toram parameter can be assigned as multiple modules (e.g. "live,syslinux")
  • Add supporting for grub on EBR (Extended Boot Record) imaging and cloning. Thanks to Bill Wright (bill at blug org) for reporting this issue.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Failed to mount OpenStack swift image repository. Thanks to maple52046 (maple52046 at gmail com) for reporting this issue.
  • Failed to restore the boot loader on EBR (Extended Boot Record). Thanks to Bill Wright (bill at blug org) for reporting this issue.
  • MBR (executable code area) data should be restored even it's GPT disk. Some OS, e.g. ESXi 5.5 need that. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/30662778/

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.4.5-20 (Feb 4, 2016)

  • ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Feb/03).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.3.3-7. From Linux kernel v4, the default union file system has been changed to overlay, therefore if you edit boot parameter manually, you have to use "union=overlay". No more using "union=aufs". Due to the linux kernel change in Debian repository, no more i586 linux kernel, so now Debian-based Clonezilla live is only released with 3 architectures: i686, i686-pae and amd64.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.2.87-drbl2. A fat16 issue was fixed. Thanks to Łukasz Stefanowicz for reporting this. (http://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/237/)
  • New file system nilfs2 is supported in this release.
  • Now ocs-onthefly supports nvme device cloning, and can work for different types of disk cloning, e.g. nvme0n1 -> sda or vice versa.
  • Make ocs-install-grub run when it's a GPT disk with a special "bios_boot" partition exists in the machine using legacy BIOS.
  • By default the image integrity will be checked before restoring. The option "-scr" can be used to skip this checking. Thanks to Nabi OUMAROV (contact _at_ nabioumarov com) for the feedback.
  • The option "-sc" was replaced by "-scs" in drbl-ocs and ocs-sr. This will be easier to tell the differences between saving and restoring image. Option "-sc" is still working in the same way with "-scs", but might be dropped in the future.
  • Packages fatresize, nilfs-tools and fancontrol were added.
  • Add removing swapfile.sys in ocs-rm-win-swap-hib. Thanks to Bartosz Bątorek batorek _at_ gmail com> for suggesting this.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • The size with more than one partition not expanding should be added to the later partition in ocs-expand-gpt-pt.
  • "Shoutdown" should be "Desligar" in luanguage file pt_BR. Thanks to Luciano (lboni2 _at_ yahoo com br) for correcting this.
  • Use parted to fill the last partitition to the end of disk because there might be some resudial in the calculation of ocs-expand-gpt-pt. Thanks to Conan for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/c5e92d87/?limit=25#080c
  • Avoiding TUI messages overriding the error messages in ocs-live-restore. Thanks to Stew Fisher fisher _at_ oncology ox ac uk> for reporting this issue.
  • Avoid using the preserved word of grub2 "prefix" in the grub.cfg. Thanks to Joey3000. (https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/13)
  • Failed to deal with partition name with extra "p", like: *cciss*, *mmcblk*, *md*, *rd*, *ida*, *nvme*, Thanks to quozl for reporting this bug. (https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/14)
  • Use fatresize to resize FAT file system instead of parted since resize function is no more in parted >= 3. Thanks to quozl for reporting this bug. (https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/16)

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.4.5-12 (Jan 15, 2016)

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Jan/12).
  • Package clonezilla was upadted to 3.19.10-drbl1.

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 2.4.5-6 (Dec 15, 2015)

  • Package drbl was updated to 2.1.34-drbl1, and clonezilla was updated to 3.1.22-drbl1. The new paths for the files in these two packages are in /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/share/drbl/sbin, and /usr/share/drbl/bin. No more under /opt/drbl/. Hence, the new pre-run and post-run paths are /usr/share/drbl/prerun/ocs/ and /usr/share/drbl/postrun/ocs/, respectively.
  • A KMS mode was added in the boot menu.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.2.56.
  • Packages tcplay and mpg123 were added.
  • Boot parameter "ocs_lang" is now replaced by "locales" from live-config.
  • Boot parameter "ocs_live_keymap" is now replaced by "keyboard-layouts" from live-config.
  • Boot parameters "echo_ocs_prerun" and "echo_ocs_postrun" were added. This can be used to disable echoing the ocs_prerun and ocs_postrun command.
  • An option to use "autohostname" to create the image name was added. Thanks to tererecool (David Bauer) for this idea.
  • The command to save an image will be saved in the image dir as file Info-saved-by-cmd.txt.
  • Another partition table file, e.g. sda-pt.parted.compact, will be saved in image dir when saving an image. It's easier for human to read.
  • //NOTE// From Clonezilla live 1.2.6-24, if you manage the boot parameters by yourself, you have to put the extra boot parameter "config" or "live-config" to make live-config to work.
  • //NOTE// From Clonezilla live 1.2.6-24, due to the change in Live-boot, the boot parameter to assign static IP address has been changed. The new format is: ip=**[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER] [,[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER]]***::
  • e.g. ip=eth0:192.168.100.1:255.255.255.0:192.168.100.254:8.8.8.8,eth1:192.168.101.1:255.255.255.0::

  • A better mechanism was implemented to decide the restored OS is using grub 1 or 2. Thanks to Robert Weir for reporting this issue on Fedora 17 restoring.
  • The *.mod files for grub2 are not fixed in the path /boot/grub/. It could be in /boot/grub/i386-pc/. Function install_grub_hd failed in this case.
  • Program ocs-lvm2-stop did not work on Ubuntu Linux due to the udevd rules 85-lvm2.rules from Ubuntu.
  • The function install_grub_hd in ocs-live-dev should skip checking the boot loader on the USB flash drive, because it might be new, empty one.
  • To avoid the KMS and vmwgfx conflict issue (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686939), some blacklist boot parameters were added.
  • The VOL_LIMIT for splitting image file could not larger than 20000000000000. Ref:
  • https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=3567350&group_id=115473
  • Saving mode should enable ncurse interface by default, too. Otherwise it's confusing.
  • Program run-parts is confusing, there now we use drbl-run-parts.
  • The description using space key to mark the selection for disk to disk clone is not required. Thanks to sabrehagen (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=3552271&group_id=115473).

  • The shorter boot parameter "config" (was "live-config") is used now, because live build 2.0.1 or later uses that and live-config (>=2.0.7) honors both "config" and "live-config".
  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2010/Nov/06).
  • A better mechanism was implemented in ocs-live-run-menu so that we can put all in a line in boot parameter ocs_live_run without using ocs_live_extra_param.
  • Program ocs-live-restore was improved to make it allow shutdown the machine when using Clonezilla recovery iso/zip with "-p poweroff".
  • Linux kernel was updated to 2.6.32-27.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.2.16.
  • Syslinux/isolinux was updated to 4.03.
  • Live-boot was updated to 2.0.11-1.drbl1, and live-config was updated to 2.0.11-1.drbl1.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • A bug about failing restoring swap partition on GPT disk. Thanks to Bill Marohn for this bug report.
  • Failed to run the command with "=" and "," in ocs_prerun. Thanks to Jacobo Vilella Vilahur for this bug report (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=3081655&group_id=115473).
  • The "startpar: service(s) returned failure: x11-common ... failed" error was fixed.

New in Clonezilla LiveCD 1.2.0-25 (Sep 17, 2008)

  • New features or updates:
  • The function to create a recovery iso/zip was added in the menu.
  • All the Clonezilla-related files are in filesystem.squashfs now. Therefore it's easier to be used in PXE server.
  • For PXE booting, now Clonezilla live supports fetch=tftp://$IP/filesystem.squashfs or any other method which live initramfs supports (http, ftp...). For more info about PXE booting Clonezilla live, refer to http://www.clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/livepxe.php
  • Now we can assign the clonezilla live parameters (ocs_live_run, ocs_live_extra_param, ocs_live_keymap, ocs_live_batch and ocs_lang) in kernel parameters.
  • Some debian extra modules (atl2...) were added. Therefore Eee PC network card is supported now.
  • FAT12 is supported by partclone.
  • Now we can boot clonezilla live to create debian live template.
  • Language files fr_FR was updated. Thanks to Jean-Francois Nifenecker.
  • Language files ja_JP.UTF-8 was updated. Thanks to Annie Wei.
  • Newer kernel 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.5.
  • New upstream ntfs-3g 1.2531.
  • live-initramfs was updated based on 1.139.
  • Packages traceroute and iputils-ping were added.
  • A package davfs2 was added so that webdav device can be mounted as Clonezilla image repository manually.
  • Default to use VGA 1024x768 for Clonezilla live. Thanks to Scott Ochiltree for this suggestion.
  • "ocs-debug" can be used as a kernel parameter to enter command line prompt before starting any Clonezilla action.
  • create-cciss-mapping now supports /dev/cciss/, /dev/ida/, and /dev/rd/.
  • An example was added (/opt/drbl/samples/custom-ocs-1), which can be used to restore an image from samba server.
  • Syslinux 3.71 is used now. ///NOTE/// If you want to create a bootable USB flash drive for this version or later, remember to use the syslinux command from syslinux 3.71 or later. Otherwise the boot menu won't work.
  • The supported locales (en_US, zh_TW, ja_JP, fr_FR) will be kept in the created iso/zip, it's not necessary to be generated before running clonezilla live.
  • By default we use jfbterm instead of bterm for showing Chinese and Japanese fonts.
  • Bugs fixed:
  • create-ocs-tmp-img will put the converted image in /tmp so it won't fail in readonly filesystem (e.g. CD) or FAT-based filesystem (e.g. samba).
  • Suppress MD starting failure messages in DRBL/Clonezilla live. Thanks to Scott Ochiltree for this suggestion.
  • create-ocs-tmp-img will put the converted image in /tmp so it won't fail in readonly filesystem (e.g. CD) or FAT-based filesystem (e.g. samba).
  • option -q2 failed to use partclone to save hfs+ partition.
  • uncompressed partclone image was not able to be identified before being restored.
  • partclone failed to restore FAT image.
  • ocs-get-part-info should tell if the vfat is fat12 or not.
  • Some other minor bugs fixed and improvements.
