I am in the middle of day 2 getting a Clonezilla SE server up and running for our school network. I need to get 30+lab computers imaged and my old solution has finally failed on me.
I have Clonezilla setup and I am successfully PXE booting to DRBL and the selecting Clonezilla. I am using my Windows DHCP server to assign an IP. The client computer will successfulyl get an IP and load to DRBL. I then select Clonezilla, and once it starts loading I get tftp errors. I have resolved a few of these problems, but I am stuck on an NFS issue.
My Windows DHCP server is 10.10.1.108, my Clonezilla Ubuntu machine is 10.10.1.21.
The output I can see says:
"Mounting root filesystem 10.10.1.21:/tftpboot/node_root at /sysroot with option “ro, nfsvers=3, tcp, nolock,”…
mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported
Failed to mount the root filesystem! Something went wrong!!"
Can anyone give me any tips on how to get this up and running? This has been one problem to tackle after another and I can’t find where to change this setting. It doesn’t even seem like NFS is working on my server.
Thanks in advance for any help.
2 Spice ups
Considering educational pricing for software, I’d use a more professional solution than Clonezilla in a school network and that would eliminate these problems.

As a private school with very little budget, even with educational pricing, open source software really is the best option for us. Thanks though.
As for the errors, I made a little more improvement. The NFS version error went away, I switched to NFS4 in the script. However I still cannot get to the files.
I get the same messages as before, but instead of the version message it just hangs. I am really beginning to think that NFS is not setup properly. Any advice on what to try? Thanks.
