14 DAY TRIAL // Steven Shiau announced today the release of a new stable version of his Linux distribution, Clonezilla Live 1.2.1-53. Focusing on bugfixing and some improvements, Clonezilla Live 1.2.-53 doesn't bring important changes. Clonezilla Live 1.2.1-53 is using the Debian Lenny repositories (as of 04/06/2009) and has updated language files.
Highlights of Clonezilla Live 1.2.1-53:
· The revised en_US language file was merged; · The -j2 and -j3 options now form a single -j2 parameter; · The -g auto option will only run the grub-install command if the grub config partition is part of the restored partitions; · The ocs-live-dev now uses the tar format for recovery files larger than 2 GB; · The checklist dialog now includes a prompt to use the space key in order to mark a selection; · The option to use CHS from EDD while running sfdisk was added through the -e2 parameter, decreasing the possibility of Microsoft Windows boot failures; · The live-initramfs now works on network booting; · A faster method of getting the Hard Disk Drive serial number was implemented by replacing lshw with Udev data; · Fixed a bug that prevented LVM disk overwriting during the partition table creation; · Fixed a bug in ocs-iso that removed files while using the toram function and also made it exit; · The script used to recreate recovery files (ISO and zip) is not in the 755 mode; · Fixed a bug in ocs-iso that prevented it from creating a recovery ISO when a file exceeded 4 GB; · Fixed a bug that prevented dd from being used for cloning if no filesystem was identified, when making partition to partition clones; · Fixed a bug that prevented the creation of a Clonezilla live recovery ISO on the USB flash version; · Fixed a bug that prevented Mac OS partition listing while saving an image; · Fixed a bug that led to using a duplicated "-p true" while running "ocs-sr -x".
About Clonezilla
The Clonezilla Live CD is a minimal Linux distribution based on Partition Image, ntfsclone, DRBL and udpcast. It allows you to massively clone computers simultaneously. Unlike the Ghost for Unix/Linux LiveCDs (G4L/G4U), Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the hard drives, which increases the clone efficiency. The Clonezilla LiveCD was born to bring more power and competence to your hard disk partitioning and cloning tasks.
