This release of Clonezilla live (20241010-oracular) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 20240715-noble

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Ubuntu Oracular (24.04) repository (as of 2024/10/10).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 6.11.0-8.8
  • Removed wireless-tools from live system since it's not available in packages repo. Package iw should have same function, which is already included in live system. Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireless-tools/+bug/2075850
  • Package reiser4progs was removed from live system.
  • Program ocs-scan-disk: use lsblk so the codes is neater. The block device with file system (e.g., sda has ntfs file system) can be correctly shown now. Ref: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/67
  • Merged zstd and zstdmt, use "zstd -T0" by default. Hence the following extra_zstdmt_* variables are dropped: extra_zstdmt_opt, extra_zstdmt_dc_opt, extra_zstdmt_opt_onthefly & extra_zstdmt_dc_opt_onthefly. This will be easier for user to customize that using boot parameters. Now only available variables for zstd are: extra_zstd_opt, extra_zstd_dc_opt, extra_zstd_opt_onthefly & extra_zstd_dc_opt_onthefly. Thanks to trfl for asking.

BUG FIXES

  • ocs-live-feed-img: missing -edio option. Thanks to Sainthol. https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/thread/dede4020e7/?limit=25#a008
  • Typos fixed. Thanks to Rachad-Alabi-ADEKAMBI. Ref: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/pull/125
  • Replaced reboot with "systemctl -f reboot" so that root over NFS won't hang when rebooting. Same for poweroff command. The option HALT_REBOOT_OPT is set as "-f" in drbl-ocs.conf.
  • Program "clonezilla": added missing option "-n" in the usage. Thanks to tim-cyb for reporting this. Ref: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/119
  • Batch mode did not just quit when failing to restore a partition. Thanks to Ron for reporting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/07b08bf1e4/?limit=25#4637/b907
  • Make 1st-disk skip mounted disk. Thanks to trfl. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/27e0b4559d/
  • OOM issue about checksums of all files The feature to verify checksums of all files inside the restored filesystems may OOM because it produces a very large logfile in ramdisk. Filter the log to only include failed files. Thanks to trfl. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/27e0b4559d/
  • ocs-onthefly: -j2 and -e2 should not be on when running ocs-sr. It should be assigned by user. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/b3ce8cfeb0/
  • Package live-config was patched to support boot parameter "usercrypted", which addressed this issue: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/88#issuecomment-2273642104
  • Allow "%" in the autoname format of image name in TUI when saving an image. Thanks to Batiste DONDOGLIO for reporting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/thread/1063f63aa9/
