    Improve ocs-restore-mdisks by adding option -a|--last-action to separate the last action before it's finished. Thanks to Brian Balzer for asking this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/366eeabc42/
    Include packages nvme-cli and scrub in Clonezilla live. Thanks to Suncatcher for suggesting this.
    Include some more packages: tmux, mtr-tiny, dcfldd, and iotop.
    Add bluetooth related packages in DRBL/Clonezilla live packages list: bluetooth, bluez and bluez-tools. Thanks to izo1 for this idea.
    Let a bare block device with a file system (e.g, /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1), which we treat as a partition, can be chosen as the destination disk when not saving.
    New upstream gen-torrent-from-ptcl (from partclone_create_torrent.py), use python3: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tjjh89017/ezio/migrate_to_py3/utils/partclone_create_torrent.py
    Remove archivemount and cloudfuse from packages list of clonezilla live since: (1) It requires fuse v2 but now only fuse v3 is available in Debian Sid. (2) It's not maintained for many years. (3) It's not used basically. The swift repository is temporarily removed from prep-ocsroot dialog menu.
    Add s3ql in the packages list so that user can manually mount swift/S3 cloud storage.
    Remove nonempty from sshfs mounting since fuse3 has used it by default. Ref: https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/commit/0bef21e8
    Add a workaround for singularity-debian-ocs.def so that the weird keyboard-configuration won't be asked interactively...

Changelog

    The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2020/Apr/28).
    Linux kernel was updated to 5.5.17-1.
    Neglect the line "last-lba:..." for the GPT partition table. This allows something like: 64 GB disk with a 20 GB NTFS partition, disk clone to >= 20 GB disk. This is harmless when same sizes of disk cloning or smaller to larger case. The option -icds is required when larger disk is cloned/restored to smaller one, no need to use -k1 in this case. Thanks to panreyes for this idea. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/342/
    Package pax was included.
    Add scdaemon clonezilla live. Thanks to nurupo for suggesting this.
    Package ufsutils was removed since it's not available in Debian Sid repository.
    Package pxz was removed since it's replaced by pixz in Clonezilla.
    Add batch mode, and instead of countdown, pause it when rc is not 0 for ocs-run-boot-param.
    Add a new program ocs-live-swap-kernel which can be used to swap Linux kernel and modules in clonezilla live.
    Add -z9p in the TUI menu of beginner mode, and now pzstd is replaced by zstdmt when the option -z9p is chosen. Thanks to Lord65 for this suggestion. Ref: https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/1192#issuecomment-397599977

Changelog

    The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2020/Jun/30).
    Linux kernel was updated to 5.7.6-1.
    ocs-iso, ocs-live-dev: sync syslinux-related files when copying syslinux exec files.
    When creating recovery iso/zip file, if it's in Clonezilla live environment, we have those syslinux files. Use that first so the version mismatch can be avoided. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/127/
    Move grub-header.cfg from bootx64.efi to grub.cfg so that it's more flexible.
    To avoid conflict with the patch of grub in CentOS/Fedora, for GRUB EFI NB MAC/IP config style, the netboot file is now like grub.cfg-drbl-00:50:56:01:01:01 and grub.cfg-drbl-192.168.177.2 not grub.cfg-01-* anymore.
    Add xen-tools
    Partclone was updated to 0.3.14. The codes about xfs was updated to be 4.20.0.
    Package exfat-fuse was removed since the kernel has module for that.
    A better mechanism to deal with linuxefi/initrdefi or linux/initrd in the grub config was added.

Changelog

    ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
    The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2020/Nov/02).
    Linux kernel was updated to 5.9.1-1.
    Add Korean support. Thanks to Hyeonmin Oh and 박규민.
    Format the parameters of ocs-* command about the device name so that it can be with or without /dev/, e.g., /dev/sda or sda. Thanks to Tsutsukakushi and MichaIng. Ref: https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/-/merge_requests/4
    Do not suppress the stdout/stderr messages when running dd in ocs-restore-[em]br.
    ocs-expand-gpt-pt/ocs-expand-mbr-pt: No need to check since we are creating new partition table and should not care about the destination disk's format is GPT or MBR. Add prompt about the option -icds when failing to creating the partition table on the smaller disk.
    Save OS-related info in the image dir as the file name Info-OS-prober.txt Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/thread/7ddac80b9f
    Packge live-boot was updated to 1:20201022-drbl1, which was patched to have a mechanism for netboot via iPXE with static IP address, no DHCP. Ref: https://salsa.debian.org/stevenshiau-guest/live-boot/-/commit/a2a3ce02b2089abee2765bb3c61ddf49d8cf2db0 https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/b84f557985/
    ocs-sr's option -f|--from-part-in-img is changed as -f|--from-part since it now supports both from an image and a device.
    Implement a better mechanism to run ocs-onthefly: Now ocs-onthefly mainly uses ocs-sr to save the pseudo image, and let partclone do the device to device clone. This is similar to that of Clonezilla lite server. Due to this improvement, some major changes for ocs-othefly in order to sync with that of ocs-sr -
    These options have been changed to totally different meanings: -d|--destination|--target was -t|--target. -po|--port was -p|--port. --net-filter was -i|--filter. -p|-pa|--postaction was -pa|--postaction. -u|--use-nuttcp was -u|--use-netcat.
    New options:
    -t|--no-restore-mbr -t1|--restore-raw-mbr -t2|--no-restore-ebr
    By default, the network cloning is changed to use zstd to compress the data instead of gzip.
    ocs-update-initrd: Remove useless prompt.
    cnvt-ocs-dev: dev-fs.list is now converted, too. Add a tag file device_name_converted.info in the converted image.
    For drbl-ocs.conf: Remove: PARTCLONE_RESTORE_ONTHEFLY_OPT_INIT Add: ONTHEFLY_NET_PIPE="nuttcp" NC_PORT_DEFAULT="9000" PARTCLONE_LOG="/var/log/partclone.log"
    If a disk has not any partition, it can not be the source for ocs-onthefly. It will just quit to avoiding confusion.
    Add "--rsyncable" for zstd saving.
    Since zstdmt is equivalent to zstd -T0, remove "-T${cpu_no}" in extra_zstdmt_opt.
    Use -np|--net-pipe PROGRAM instead of -u|--use-netcat in ocs-onthefly so that it's easier to switch, and it can be selected in the expert mode.
    Add uuid-runtime, scsitools, blktool, safecopy and gpart to the packages list of clonezilla live.
    Add option -rvd to ocs-onthefly so that we can choose to remove the NTFS volume dirty flag in source NTFS file system before cloning it.
    Add support for loop devices: Disk images attaches as block devices. Thanks to MichaIng. Ref: https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/-/merge_requests/43
    Newer zip can create zip file larger than 2 GB. Hence ocs-live-dev should use zip to create the recovery zip file, not force to change that to tar.
    BUG FIXES:
    Avoid creating VG more than once. VG might exist in more than one PV. If so, we only have to create it once. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/thread/13f8ed6643
    cnvt-ocs-dev now can process the image repository path with whitespace. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/cf543265b2
    Deal with more than one EFI part in a machine having same UUID. Avoid update-efi-nvram-boot-entry failing in this case.

Changelog

    Include exfatprogs instead of exfat-utils.
    Include package glances, ipv6calc, atop, usbtop, bashtop, python3-psutil, vnstat and iperf3.
    Add package f3 in Clonezilla/DRBL/GParted live. Thanks to timgmooney at hotmail com for this suggestion.
    ocs-sr: make --rescue work for ocs-onthefly to call ocs-sr. Thanks to huh for reporting this issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba2d28a4ef/
    prep-ocsroot: add an option to fsck repository file system before mounting local one. Thanks to Bohdan for this idea. Ref: https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/-/issues/53
    Better mechanism to find LIVE_MEDIA in function get_live_media_mnt_point of ocs-functions. This allows persistence in the live-boot to work with Clonezilla live. Thanks to Bohdan for asking persistence feature.
    ocs-sr: Support customized auto-gen image name. Key name: productname, FQDN, UUID, MAC, year, date, time (case insensitive). It can be any combination, just make beginning with "autoname-". If key name is not any one of the above, it will be shown as itself. E.g., autoname-fox-year-date-time-uuid -> fox-2020-1227-2336-564d41fc-9d80-20ac-c844-bda6a392d4c6
    ocs-sr: support more time-related format for "autoname-": Four new key names: month, day, hour, minute (case insensitive), e.g., autoname-tiger-month-day-year-hour-minute -> tiger-12-31-2020-23-15. In addition, datefmt_* can be used to assign the format from "date" command. E.g., autoname-fox-datefmt_%Y%m%d -> fox-20210109 autoname-fox-datefmt_%Y-datefmt_%m%d -> fox-2021-0109
    Add support for scheme about samba_server with version assigned as: smb1, smb1.0, smb2, smb2.0, smb2.1, smb3, smb3.0, smb3.11, and smb3.1.1. in ocs-live-repository so that the cifs version can be assigned. Thanks to ottokang for this idea. Ref: https://groups.google.com/g/ocs-clonezilla/c/M0eEV9ClO4k/m/FlW06koMBwAJ
    Improve the support for Linux software RAID. Allow something lie /dev/md126 can be a partition, too. Thanks to Jorge Fábregas (jorge.fabregas at gmail com) for asking and testing.
    Add language setting (en_US) in grub.cfg.
    Change the date-time format for auto*name as like my-2020-1220-0221-img, was my-2020-12-20-0221-img.
    Show file system and partition size in the TUI when listing partitions in restoreparts.
    Language file es_ES was updated. Thanks to Juan Ramón Martínez.
    Package ezio instead of ezio-static is used since it can depend on different versions of libtorrent. It was updated to version 1.1.11. An issue about uploading too early was fixed.
    Reduce ezio_cache_ratio from 0.7 to 0.5 in drbl-ocs.conf.
    The devices to be deployed by BT mode will be run together. No more one device by another device.
    Add leecher mode (-l|--for-leecher) in ocs-btsrv.
    As suggested by ottokang _at gmail com and https://lwn.net/Articles/244829/, noatime implies nodiratime. Therefore remove nodiratime in the option of mount command.
    ocs-sr: destination disk can be assigned by serialno when restoring.
    ocs-onthefly: source and destination device can be assigned by serialno.
    The serial no of disk device is now in the short format, not the long one from udevadm. Thanks to LinuxOpa for clarifying this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/143/
    When ocs-sr is in saving mode, the DEVICE name can also be assigned by: For disk: PTUUID or SERIALNO, e.g., PTUUID=03c8b280-47aa-4881-aca5-9b9c66fe28c7. If there are spaces in SERIALNO, replace every space by "_". For partition: UUID or PARTUUID, e.g., UUID=0b51ce79-7bc0-4111-8a40-839461a9b12f"

    BUG FIXES:

    Missing TUI when -rescue is used for partclone in device to device cloning. Thanks to huh for reporting this.
    The boot parameter from clonezilla live grub.cfg was wrongly parsed for using in lite server client.
    Improve parse_cmdline_option to allow multiple "=" in a line, e.g., Thanks to Christopher S for reporting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/144/
    Jfbterm was not used in i686 live due to wrong keyword to be grepped in ocs-lang-kbd-conf. This made no way to choose language for i686 version of Clonezilla live.
    In interactive mode, ocs-onthefly and ocs-sr should wait for pressing enter before asking final action. It was not working for device to device cloning, recovery iso/zip creation, etc.

Rescuezilla is an easy-to-use disk imaging application that's fully compatible with Clonezilla.

Disk imaging makes a backup of your computer's hard drive, managed as files stored on an external hard drive. If your hard drive fails, you can restore your disk image, and within a few minutes, all your documents and settings will be restored to the same state they were in when the last snapshot was taken.

Changelog

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.8.0-27

    The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2022/Jan/03).
    Linux kernel was updated to 5.15.5-2.
    Language files ca_ES, de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, hu_HU, ja_JP, pl_PL and sk_SK were updated. Thanks to René Mérou, Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón Martínez, Greg, Akira Yoshiyama, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Kris, and Ondrej Dzivý Balucha.
    By default do not split the image file of a partition, i.e., use "-i 0" when saving an image by ocs-sr. If the image repo is FAT, VOL_LIMIT_IN_INTERACTIVE will be set as 4096 when running ocs-sr in saving mode. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/46706796eb/
    boot-local-efi.cfg: Improved to detect hd1, hd2... Thanks to Sung Cho for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/371/

BUG FIXES

    update-efi-nvram-boot-entry: bug fixed for 2 or more ESPs on the same machine, unmount should be done within for loop.
    ocs-prep-cache: ignore the 1st 2 columns in /proc/partitions when comparing it for the cache files, since partprobe might change the major and minor numbers in /proc/partitions, while the blocks and device names (3rd & 4th columns) will remain the same after partprobe is run.
    ocs-get-dev-info: better way to run dislocker-find so that when it failed to load some lib, it won't show the device's fs is bitlocker.
    Force to use syslinux/isolinux 6.03. Do not mix that with 6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-3+b1 from Debian repo.
    Support dracut from CentOS 6 which exists in different path and no option"--tmpdir" for the restored CentOS 6.*
