Clonezilla live 3.1.0-22 released: a partition and disk imaging/cloning program

by · Published · Updated

Clonezilla is a partition and disk imaging/cloning program similar to True Image®. It saves and restores only used blocks in hard drive. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (Server Edition).

Features

  • Filesystem supported: ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, HFS+ of Mac OS, UFS of BSD, Minix of Minix and VMFS of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS Windows and Intel-based Mac OS, no matter its 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored. For the unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla
  • LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
  • Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for a massive clone.
  • Based on partclone to clone partition. However, Clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions but also a whole disk.

Changelog 3.1.0-22

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 3.0.3-22

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2023/Apr/26).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 6.1.25-1.
  • Package ezio was updated to 2.0.1-1. The corresponding changes to Clonezilla have been done.
  • Program makeboot.sh: make it run only in x86 arch.
  • Include packages dvtm & dtach.
  • Memtest86+ was updated to v6.10.
  • If block dev has a file system found in the image when restoring, treat it as a partition.
  • ocs-sr: if /dev/md* exists, list both disk and parts in TUI, and disable devices list cache mechanism.
  • ocs-onthefly: disable devices list cache mechanism if /dev/md* exists.
  • Add option “-K” (–ignoreactivationskip) to vgchange so that snapshots can be dealed with. Thanks to Felipe Piero Benjamin Solari Agüela (fsolari at pucp.edu.pe) for suggesting this.
  • Functions check_if_disk_busy and is_partition of ocs-functions were improved. Fake/firmware RAID support should be improved. Thanks to Michael McGrath.

BUG FIXES

  • Invalid dialog options for ‘-p’ option.
  • ocs-cvtimg-comp: Suppress the syntax error about size when dd image is converted. Rename the existing destination image name if it exists.
  • Devices list cache failed to disabled. If use_dev_list_cache is set as no, then check_if_use_disklist_cache and check_if_use_partlist_cache in ocs-functions should not create any cache info.
  • Remove extra “stop” in parameters when stopping lighttpd.*
