Hi Steven, Thanks for looking at this curious issue. I have just tested it running prep-ocsroot from a clonezilla bash prompt and it mounts fine! It only seems to be when going through the menu system at startup that it fails. I have been testing this by booting copies of the live CDs with the default options. Additionally, running sudo /opt/drbl/bin/clonezilla also works. So neither the clonezilla executable nor prep-ocsroot alone are enough to make it fail. This makes me wonder if it could be a problem in one of the /etc/ocs/ocs-live scripts. thanks, Greg >> When it fails, the error is always the same.
