The release is presented LinuxClonezilla Live 2.8.1, a distribution designed for fast disk cloning (copying only used blocks). The distribution's functionality is similar to that of the proprietary Norton Ghost product. The distribution's ISO image size is 339 MB (i686, amd64).
The distribution is based on Debian GNU/Linux and uses code from projects such as DRBL, Partition Image, ntfsclone, partclone, and udpcast. Booting from CD/DVD, USB Flash Drive, and network (PXE) is possible. Supported file systems include LVM2, ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs, nilfs2, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, UFS, minix, VMFS3, and VMFS5 (VMWare ESX). A mass cloning mode over the network is available, including multicast traffic transmission, allowing simultaneous cloning of the source disk to a large number of client machines. Cloning from one disk to another is possible, as well as creating backup copies by saving the disk image to a file. Cloning is possible at the level of entire disks or individual partitions.
In the new version:
- Synchronization with the package database has been completed Debian Sid as of January 3.
- Core Linux updated to release 5.15 (was 5.14).
- By default, splitting files with partition images into parts is stopped (when calling ocs-sr, the “-i 0” option is enabled).
- Updated locale files.
- In the boot-local-efi.cfg settings, the detection of disks hd1, hd2, etc. has been improved.
- Added support for dracut from CentOS 6 and the indication of the “--tmpdir” option during recovery has been adjusted CentOS 6.*.
