Does anybody on this list use this solution and can say something about
it
in the running-Clonezilla-with-CentOS-context, be it recommendations, gotchas', warnings or whatever?
I'm using it installed via yum on Centos and it works great. I use a 2-NIC server where machines are normally plugged into the private side in a lab to be imaged via PXE booting but it also works to use a clonezilla-live CD boot anywhere on the network to save or restore.
Thanks Les and Thomas. I appreciate the feedback. I'll look into installing this solution.
I'm currently using a g4u-based routine with an ftp-server running of off a Win2k3-machine+dhcp. It works, but is slightly awkward to use. Clonezilla seems a bit more worked-on compared and more of a complete solution.
Thanks.

Please let us know how it works for you. I did not know that you could install it on CentOS. I just started looking at it lately and can not get the live CD to work on new or old hardware. I have used PartImage and hoped it would be easier to use but no luck even getting it up to test yet. Glad to read that someone has gotten it to work.

How does the live CD fail for you? Installing the DRBL package on a Centos server basically gives you PXE network boot capability, but once you've booted into clonezilla it is pretty much the same thing you would have if you booted the live CD and mounted network storage from the server - and either way works with most of the hardware I've tried.

I will. I'm just about finished migrating RHEL3 to CentOS5 by way of g4u for a course-start and I'll start looking into Clonezilla afterwards, when I'm not deadlined anymore. This whole business with g4u made things pearshaped occasionally and also made me start looking for a more generalistic solution. Don't misunderstand me, g4u is not bad at all, but things are not ideal as it were.
