Hi, I'm having trouble imaging Linux machines using Clonezilla. I'm hoping that someone here can help; here is the situation:
(1) Environment
I've installed Clonezilla on our internal PXE server with an NFS-backed
root filesystem. I have a test laptop with Fedora 11 preinstalled which
I am using for testing. Although Clonezilla is not currently configured
to fetch images over HTTP, I have also tested hosting the squashfs image
over http and come up with identical results.
(2) Setup
I boot the test laptop using PXE and am presented with the Clonezilla
greeting screen. I select the following options:
"Don't touch keymap" --> Start_Clonezilla --> device-image -->
nfs_server --> [input NFS server DNS name] --> [input NFS export] -->
press Enter to continue (7.5TB are free) --> Beginner --> savedisk -->
select name ("mike" in case it matters) --> choose "sda" --> proceed
through final verification screens, pressing Enter or typing "y" where
asked
(3) Failure
It backs up the boot partition, then moves on to sda2 which contains
LVM. It prints out "Parsing LVM layout" followed by "Parsing logical
volumes" and finally "Saving the VG config" at which point the console
freezes and will not respond to signals (^Z, ^C).
The good folks in #fedora on freenode confirmed that Fedora 11 uses LVM2
(since it clearly states on the Clonezilla website that LVM1 is
unsupported). I have also tested this exact same procedure with VMWare
and saw an identical failure. I tested with both of the following
archives:
clonezilla-live-1.2.2-26.zip clonezilla-live-1.2.2-30.zip
I'm not sure what could be going wrong here.
Thanks,
Mike
