This release of Clonezilla live (20111125-oneiric) includes major enhancements and major bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Oneiric repository (as of 2011/Nov/25).
- Linux kernel was updated to version 3.0.0-13.22.
- Partclone was updated to version 0.2.38.
- Gdisk was updated to 0.8.1.
- A new mode "1-2-mdisks" (one image to be restored to multiple disks) was added in Clonezilla main menu. This is useful for creating massive USB flash drives. Check this: http://drbl.sourceforge.net/screenshot/?in_path=/12_Alvin_Su_Taiwan
- This release supports VMFS5 imaging and cloning.
- An option "-pa|--postaction" was added to ocs-onthefly; it can be assigned to reboot or shut down the machine after cloning. Thanks to flyfoxuk for this idea.
- The option to fsck the source partition will be shown in beginner mode.
- The grub2 for EFI booting was improved. Now it is able to boot a Mac machine from a USB flash drive with the MBR partition table.
- The package cpufrequtils was added.
- The volume name of DOS and NTFS partitions on destination disk will be shown before restoring.
- Restore related menu, i.e. restoredisk or restoreparts, will only be shown when images exist in image repository.
- //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::
BUG FIXES
- A bug in the option "-k1" was fixed.
- A bug where NFS 4 might have been automatically used after assigning the NFS version 2/3 protocol when mounting an NFS image repository was fixed.
- If the "system reserved partition" of MS Windows 7 or Vista is found when restoring with the option "-k1" enabled, this partition won't be enlarged to prevent boot failures.
- A bug about failing to clone NTFS partitions on the AMD64 version of Clonezilla live was fixed.
