Starting from version 4.7.7, Kiosk support scanning Clonezilla image.
Prerequisites
During the preprocessing and enumeration phase, each folder is checked to determine whether it is a Clonezilla folder. A valid Clonezilla folder must meet the following conditions:
- Required files: The folder contains
clonezilla-img,disk, parts, andInfo-img-id.txt. - Disk file: The
diskfile contains a single line specifying the disk name (e.g.,sda,sdb). - Parts file: The
partsfile lists partition names on a single line, separated by spaces. Partition names are formed by the disk name followed by a number (e.g., sdb1 sdb2 sdb4). - Disk metadata: The following files must exist for the identified disk:
DISKNAME-pt.parted,DISKNAME-mbr,DISKNAME-gpt-1st, andDISKNAME-gpt-2nd. - Disk data: Partition data files must follow the format
**PARTITION.FILESYSTEM-ptcl-img.***, wherePARTITIONis a partition name and FILESYSTEM _is the file system type (e.g.,_sdb1.xfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa).
Configurations
From Kiosk Console, navigate to Configuration > Advanced > Disk Image Settings > Clonezilla
- Scan full disk: Kiosk scans the entire disk, including the original file and all child files contained within
- Scan Original files: Kiosk scans only the original file, without processing child files
How does Kiosk scan the Clonezilla folder
Once the Kiosk detected a folder as a valid Clonezilla folder, it will proceed with preprocessing and mounting process
Restore the Clonezilla folder to Raw disk image
- Kiosk uses the built-in
clonezilla-utilto convert the partition data files into a raw partition image. For example, thesdb1.xfs-ptcl-img.gz.aais converted tosdb1.img. - Next, Kiosk combines with
-mbr, -gpt-1st, ...files to produce the raw disk imagesdb.img
- Kiosk uses the built-in
Convert the raw disk to VHDX file using
qemu-imgThe VHDK file will then be mounted by Windows as usual. The Paragon software will also be used to read the uncommon Linux file systems such as XGS and BTRFS
