This release of Clonezilla live (20160203-wily) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Wily (15.10) repository (as of 2016/Feb/03).
- Linux kernel was updated to 4.2.0-27.32. 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 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 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)
