Dear list, We typically use Clonezilla via sshfs to a central disk-image server. This has worked well until recently, when we upgraded the server from Debian Lenny (5.0) to Debian Squeeze (6.0). Upon further testing, recent builds of Clonezilla were found to successfully connect to all Lenny and Fedora boxes but no Squeeze boxes.
When it fails, the error is always the same. When booting up a live CD I navigate the menus thusly: English Language -> Don't touch keymap -> Start Clonezilla -> device-image -> ssh_server -> dhcp -> (server details) After that I get the following: Mounting sshfs by: sshfs -o nonempty -p 22 root@myserver:"/lab" /home/partimag The authenticity of host 'myserver (x.x.x.x)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x... Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes root@myserver's password: remote host has disconnected Clonezilla image home directory /home/partimag is not a mounting point! Failed to mount other device as /home/partimag! The server gives the following errors: /var/log/auth.log Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: Accepted password for root from <IPADDR> port 39518 ssh2 Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: subsystem request for sftp Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: Received disconnect from <IPADDR>: 11: disconnected by user Mar 30 15:47:51 myserver sshd[11424]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root Strangely if I enter the sshfs command exactly as shown above at a Clonezilla root (sudo -s) prompt then it works and I can run Clonezilla successfully. I have tested this with several different versions of Clonezilla and found the following results when trying to use sshfs to a server running Debian Squeeze: CZ Version Status 1.2.4-28-686 OK 1.2.5-35-i686 OK 1.2.6-24-i486 OK 1.2.6-24-i686 OK 1.2.6-24-amd64 OK 1.2.6-40-i686 FAIL 1.2.6-40-amd64 FAIL 1.2.8-23-i686 FAIL This suggests that something significant changed in 1.2.6-40. The problem is not limited to one particular server, since I get consistent results when trying to connect to other Debian Squeeze boxes. Can anyone shed light on what the problem might be? thanks, Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Clonezilla-live mailing list Clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live
