Handy hdd clone tool Clonezilla Live 1.2.1-37 is now out

January 31st, 2009 admin No comments

One of my favorite tools for hard driver cloning, and as i use it for rapid server deployment. Clonezilla is very fast, faster than commercial tools for disk cloning, and has no problems with cloning grub and such.

here is the entire announcement  by Steven Shiau: 

We are happy to announce this new stable release. In this release, we 
have 2 more new languages, and some improvement about cloning MS 
windows. The details:
- Based on Debian Lenny repository on Jan/26/2009. Newer kernel 
2.6.26-13 is used.
- Italian language files were added. Thanks to Gianfranco Gentili.
- Spanish language files were added. Thanks to Juan Ramón Martínez 
<jrmc77 _at_ terra es>.
- Language files fr_FR was updated. Thanks to Jean-Francois Nifenecker.
- Language files zh_CN.UTF-8 was updated. Thanks to Zhiqiang Zhang.
- Language files it_IT was updated. Thanks to Gianfranco Gentili.
- Language files ja_JP.UTF-8 was updated. Thanks to Annie Wei.
- Collecting hardware info now is faster.
- Functions to save and resore hidden data between MBR and 1st partition 
were added for ocs-sr and ocs-onthefly 
(https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=5471665). Thanks to 
Alberto (arbouzas), david adamo and jess (jessdk).
- Option -j2 and -j3 for saving or restoring hidden data were added in 
drbl-ocs and ocs-sr.
- Option -j2 for cloning hidden data was added in ocs-onthefly.
- The option to use ntfsreloc (-e1 auto) to fix CHS based on the value 
of EDD was added. Thanks to Orgad Shaneh, Antorz and Louie Chen.
- Function get_RawCHS_of_HD_from_sfdisk was added and will be used as a 
backup plan for partclone.ntfsreloc 
(https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=6181406). Thanks to 
Orgad Shaneh.
- Option -V of ntfsclone restoring is on in ocs-onthefly.
- ntfs-3g mounting warning in prep-ocsroot is off now.
- Before restoring or saving, user must enter y/yes/n/no. It can not be 
nothing.
- An option -z2p for parallel bzip2 was added.
- An option -e1|–change-geometry was added to ocs-sr and drbl-ocs.
- If batch mode is on, we won’t find the serial no of harddrive.
- Program create-ocs-tmp-img was improved with some options and more prompt.
- An example “clone-multiple-usb-example.sh” to clone an image to 
several USB flash drives was added. Thanks to Alvin Su.
- When choosing restoring partitions only, we should not restore swap 
partition. Thanks to Samwise Foxburr for this bug report.
- Bug fixed: ocs-get-part-info input parameters was wrongly parsed.
- Bug fixed: LVM might use ID=83 in partition table, therefore we should 
not parse it based on partition ID 

(https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=2528606&group_id=115473).
- Bugs fixed: ocs-iso and ocs-live-dev were fixed (ID: 2465945). Thanks 
to Orgad Shaneh.
- Bugs fixed: ocs-live-dev was broken for -m 
(https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=6099180). Thanks to 
lucsmitty (gregs).
- Bug fixed: Some parameters after inputed again did not work when 
running “ocs-sr -x”.
- Bug fixed: When choosing partition, extended or swap should not be 
listed (due to the command of “file -Ls” won’t show any “extended” info 
about a partition in Debian Lenny. We switch to use ocs-get-part-info 
instead of file).

Enjoy!
