(always mount Flashdrive if there're Clonezilla boot media in both Flashdrive & CDROM)
I have to remotely do Clonezilla imaging & restoration via iLO. There's no one standby to put in/put out the media from the server for me.
The situation was like this:
1. have Clonezilla boot media in a Flashdrive, plugged in for making&keeping a clonezilla image.
2. have Clonzilla DVD boot media in a drive. There's a image which made by other and want to restore at this machine.
- Reboot the machine
- Select to boot from DVD-ROM
- It's booted
- Select the default, 1st option
- Clonezilla mount /home/partimag from a Flashdrive instead of a DVD.
How to solve:
- When at Clonezilla boot option screen select to load Clonezilla to RAM
- It's only load the program into a ramdisk.
- then manually mount DVD-ROM to be /home/partimag
- first; sudo -s to became root
- mount a dvd drive
# mkdir -p /media/cdrom
# mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom - /home/partimag which Clonezilla will use to find their image files will be a symbolic link to /live/image//home/partimag (which is currently is a ram disk)
- delete it
# rm /home/partimag - create a new symbolic link point to mounted DVD disc instead
# ln -s /media/cdrom/home/partimag /home/partimag - Done! now execute the Clonezilla program
# clonezilla - When it ask the repository of images choose skip (the current /home/partimag)
