I am trying to create a custom clonezilla installer, as a tool to refresh our standard machines from memory stick.

I can customise the start menu fine from syslinux/syslinux.cfg just fine, but I want the large memory stick to also contain the image to be restored.
The image is in /lib/live/mount/medium/myImage and can be seen from the command line, but the installer seems to want to find it on /home/partimag

Is there a way to modify the ocs-live-run="ocs-sr ... " etc to point to the local path instead of having to mount /home/partimag ?

Thanks in advance - I am pulling my hair out.

script as per Michael below:

# mount the image where Clonezilla wants to find it

echo Mounting /lib/live/mount/medium/image on to /home/partimag/

mount --bind /lib/live/mount/medium/image /home/partimag/

RET=$?

if [ ${RET} -ne 0 ]

then

        echo "FAILURE: Mount failed! Image missing?"

        exit 2

# -g auto - grub install in the right place

# -e* <whatever> - geometry

# -r – resize when restore done

# -j2 – clone hidden data

# -c – wait for confirm

  Yeah, the problem there is that I cannot see how to run it manually while also seeing the bound mount on to /home/partimag. I suppose I could fudge it and the go to command prompt to adjust.

The way I do it for custom loaders is to setup ocs_live_run="/lib/live/mount/medium/MyScript.sh" in the syslinux/syslinux.cfg

Drop MyScript.sh onto the root of the flash drive.

Drop your image into a directory named Image on the root of the flash drive.

Your script should bind mount the image directory, and then run clonezilla (snippet from one of my auto-load scripts):

# mount the image where Clonezilla wants to find it

mount --bind /lib/live/mount/medium/Image /home/partimag/

RET=$?

if [ ${RET} -ne 0 ]

then

        echo "FAILURE: Mount failed! Image missing?"

        exit 2

fi



# now actually do the restore.

# -p true - exit with success

# -g auto - grub install in the right place

# -e* <whatever> - geometry

# -r – resize when restore done

# -j2 – clone hidden data

# -c – wait for confirm

# -p true – just exit

# -src – skip image check on restore

ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -j2 -c -p true -scr restoredisk L06_05-A.14.14-img sda

RET=$?

if [ ${RET} -ne 0 ]

then

        echo "FAILURE: Imaging failed! Bad image? Bad drive?"

        exit 1

fi

  Ok Michael, it's all pretty much working now. The only issue remaining is how to change some of the messaging while it is in progress: I would like to change "The jobs in /etc/ocs/ocs-live.d/ are finished" to "Please wait until reboot and don't press anything"! Any idea where such messages are kept? Or shall I unsquash the filesystem and find the script ?
