This release of Clonezilla live (20260220-questing) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES SINCE 20251017-questing

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Questing Quokka repository (as of 2026/Feb/20)
  • Linux kernel was updated to 6.17.0-14.14.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.3.45.
  • Implemented mechanisms for cloning 4kn disks to 512n/e disks and 512n/e disks to 4kn disks. Thanks to john (zx1100e1).
  • Improved functions do_ntfs_512to4k_fix and do_ntfs_4kto512_fix by updating Total Sectors (Offset 40) for NTFS.
  • Added a new program, ocs-pt-512-4k-convert, to convert 512B to 4kn partition tables.
  • Rewrote ocs-expand-gpt-pt to be more robust, including 512B to 4kn conversion if mismatched sectors are detected.
  • Added a mechanism to change the master key from a LUKS header. Thanks to nbergont for the contribution.
  • Rewrote ocs-get-nic-fw-lst to retrieve firmware lists directly from Linux kernel modules.
  • Added two more info files in image dir: fdisk.list and blkdev.json. Thanks to arij for the suggestion.
  • Included makeboot64.cmd instead of makeboot64.bat in the live system. Thanks to Tom Hoar.
  • Improved BitLocker support: partitions now work on the clone server (ocs-onthefly), and the system now prompts for passwords again if entered incorrectly. Thanks to Marcos Diez.
  • Enabled the "-edio" (Direct I/O) option in the TUI by default.
  • Restricted the "-smtd" and "-smmcb" options enabled by default to non-x86-64 machines.
  • Added the 'lsb-release' package to the live system.
  • The time synchronization mechanism can now be disabled if ocs_time_sync="no" is assigned in the boot parameters.
  • Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation. Thanks to Rafael Fontenelle.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed an issue in function udp_send_part_img_or_dev where multicast sending from raw devices failed for partitions with unknown filesystems; it now utilizes partclone.dd.
  • Fixed a bug where ocs-get-dev-info failed to identify extended partitions on MBR disks.
  • Removed extra LVM and LUKS information in dev-fs.list that previously caused partition order errors and failed network clones via ocs-onthefly. Thanks to kokutou kiritsugu for reporting this.
  • Resolved a bug related to restoring MTD/eMMC devices.
  • Appended '--rescue' to partclone options to bypass mtdblock read errors.
  • Fixed a bug where ocs-sr could not find devices using a PTUUID.
  • Updated ocs-live-run-menu to set the TERM as fbterm so box-drawing characters display correctly. Thanks to ottokang for identifying this.
  • Improved ocs-blk-dev-info efficiency and removed double quotation marks from model and serial outputs to prevent menu breakage. Thanks to pete-15.
  • Updated ocs-cvt-dev to avoid name collisions during the conversion process.
