Clonezilla Live

Clonezilla Live è una distribuzione Linux basata su Debian Sid per clonare e partizionare il disco. Ricorda il Norton Ghost, ma è invece basato su altri prodotti open source. La particolarità più importante è che vengono salvati solo i blocchi del disco che sono utilizzati, per cui l’operazione di clonazione richiede pochi minuti!

Versione  2.3.2-18

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES

* The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2014/Dec/08).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.16.7-2.
* Package drbl was updated to 2.11.13-drbl1, and clonezilla was updated to 3.12.7-drbl1.
* Syslinux was updated to 6.03.
* Language files de_DE, ca_ES, es_ES, fr_FR, it_IT, ja_JP.UTF-8, tr_TR and sk_SK was updated. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón Martínez, René Mérou, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili,
Akira YOSHIYAMA, Volkan GEZER and Ondrej Dzivy Balucha.
* A mechanism was added to check if i386 library (libc6-i386 or glibc.i686) exists on x86-64 system when running makeboot.sh due to syslinux included in Clonezilla live is 32-bit.
* Linux kernel i486 was replaced by i586 because now only i586 kernel exists on Debian Sid repository.
* A better way to deal with –rsyncable option of gzip and pigz was implemented.
(https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/8d5f80a6/)
* Adding support for device name format like /dev/rd/c0d0 and /dev/ida/c0d0 RAID cards.
(https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/e82e1c04/)
* Now Clonezilla could support PV on disk, not only on partition.
* Fake RAID/firmware RAID is now supported if its device naming style is /dev/md.
* The partition from an image could be now restored to different name device, e.g. sda1 could be restored to sdb5.

BUG FIXES

* Temporarily disabled vmfs3 and vmfs5 support due to an issue (https://github.com/glandium/vmfs-tools/issues/12). Now dd is used for vmfs. Now waiting for the updating of vmfs-tools.
* Options “-fsck-src-part” and “”-fsck-src-part-y” were duplicated in ocs-onthefly expert mode.
* The input harddrive of ocs-install-grub might be more than one, therefore ocs-install-grub should take that into consideration.
* Only device name /dev/mmcblk0p* worked. Those /dev/mmcblk[1-9]p* were not supported.
