This release of Clonezilla live (3.3.3-37) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.

ENHANCEMENTS AND CHANGES SINCE 3.3.3-15

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2026/Sep/13).
  • The Linux kernel was updated to 7.1.13-1.
  • Partclone was updated to 0.3.50, which includes a fix for a Btrfs issue.
  • Clonezilla lite server now supports both PXEBoot and HTTPBoot network boot clients, including Secure Boot support for HTTPBoot mechanism.
  • Implemented LUKS2 Repository support.
  • Replaced deprecated net-tools commands with iproute2 alternatives and dropped dhclient-related code in favor of dhcpcd.
  • Configured dhcpcd to use clientid for stable IP reservations. Thanks to FoxKyong for suggesting this.
  • GRUB display enhancements: Configured preferred resolutions ('1920x1080,1024x768,auto') and fallback resolution (1024x768) to prevent microscopic boot menus and text distortion on 4K/HiDPI screens.
  • ocs-live-boot-menu: Conditionally run efitextmode under secure boot lockdown to prevent "prohibited by secure boot policy" error messages.
  • ocs-live-time-sync: Added an option to handle Local Time hardware clocks by detecting boot parameters (like 'utc=no') and prompting interactively when offline.
  • Bypass partition image conversion when restoring to identical base disks/partitions.
  • cnvt-ocsiso-qcow2: Refactored with dual-packaging modes (--use-vhd-mode and --use-iso-mode), flexible prefixing (--prefix), and fixed VHD boot kernel panics.
  • Enhanced CJK font scaling with large console fonts in fbterm using --font-size and optimized boot speed in ocs-console-font-size.
  • Added packages netpbm and fonts-unifont to the live system.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed the RHEL 10 / AlmaLinux 10+ LVM system.devices locking issue. Thanks to Ray Fong for reporting this issue.
  • Fixed 'box' partition device error when empty Partition Devices occur (NUMDEV=0).
  • Fixed an issue where no size or file system was detected for a bare disk with a file system.
  • Fixed a bug where the TUI was not shown for poweroff/reboot/command after device-to-device cloning is finished.
  • Enabled Partclone ncurses TUI for direct device-to-device cloning.
  • Fixed console font size auto-detection mismatch on non-KMS/FHD setups.
