This release of Clonezilla live (3.1.1-27) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 3.1.0-22
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2023/Nov/02).
- Linux kernel was updated to 6.5.8-1.
- Language files ca_ES, de_DE, el_GR.UTF-8, es_ES, fr_FR, ja_JP, pl_PL, sk_SK, and tr_TR were updated. Thanks to René Mérou, Michael Vinzenz, Stamatis Mavrogiorgis, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Akira Yoshiyama, Kris, Ondrej Dzivy Balucha, and Volkan Gezer.
- Partclone was updated to 0.3.27. Options --read-direct-io and --write-direct-io are available.
- Package ezio was updated to 2.0.5. Some improvements from 2.0.3: * show version when running. * show save_path instead of name. * Torrent is larger than 4MB.
- Packages acpitool, ntfs2btrfs, zfsutils-linux, and vim (not vim-tiny) are included in the live system.
- Package mlocate was replaced by plocate.
- Support an extra dir "root" for the root fs with grub reinstallation. This is for the case that Fedora >= 38 uses an extra dir "root" for root file system, i.e., /root/ under the root partition. Older system just puts the dirs (boot, usr, var, lib) in the / of root file system. Thanks to Bob Bobsled for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/mailman/message/42287717/
- Add option "-edio" in the TUI wizard, which is used to enable direct IO when using Partclone to save or restore NVMe SSD.
- ocs-park-disks: only park HDD, not SSD.
- Since grub commands "linux/initrd" works for uEFI boot, no matter it's secure boot or not. Just use them, not using linuxefi/initrdefi.
- Improved the mechanism for the reserved word name "all" when in the restoredisk/restoreparts mode. The reserved name "unmounted_disk" and "unmounted_parts" for restoredisk and restoreparts modes were added, respectively. Thanks to ottokang for this bug report.
- Add the mechanism for multicast deployment from raw devices. Note: The options -bdt and -bsdf of ocs-live-feed-img are deprecated. They are replaced by -cdt and -csdf, it means cast (including bittorrent and multicast), not only for bittorrent only.
- Default to use -z9p (parallel zstd compression) in the TUI when saving an image.
- ocs-live-feed-img: implement options -ssnf & -iui. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/416d0fe630/
- Allow bt_restoredisk mode to restore image to different device name. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/09d819bcbf/?limit=25#e267/46b4 https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/70b7ca6263/?limit=25#2d08
- Show disk ID path in the disk info.
- When ocs_screen_blank="no" is assigned in the boot parameters, the console won't blank.
- Memtest86+ was updated to v6.20. Thanks to ottokang.
- Allow choosing NIC in lite server mode when multiple network cards exist. Thanks to Date Huang and Nate Carr for asking this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/6fedbfd6c3
BUG FIXES
- Cloning paritition loop for multiple LVs. Thanks for all the bug reporters. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/f6a7e860c9
- ocs-resize-part: workaround to avoid fatresize bug. A workaround to avoid fatresize 1.1.0 bug. We do not extend it to the boundary. Just try to resize it smaller. Ref: https://github.com/ya-mouse/fatresize/issues/18
