Clonezilla Live, a free and open-source disk cloning and imaging software designed for system backup, recovery, and deployment, has just released its latest stable snapshot, v3.2.2-5.
What’s new under the hood? The live environment is now built on Debian Sid packages dated 12 May 2025, ensuring newer drivers, libraries, and security patches out of the box. Moreover, sliding forward to the 6.12 LTS kernel gives Clonezilla wider hardware coverage.
The peer-to-peer “ezio” transfer tool gains three boot-time parameters (ezio_seed_max_connect, ezio_seed_max_upload, and ezio_upload_timeout).
That means you can now fine-tune how many simultaneous seeders and leechers participate and how long they wait, making large lab deployments less of a guessing game.
It’s also worth noting that now, when you invoke ocs-live-swap-kernel, firmware blobs that match the new kernel are automatically bundled, reducing “device not found” surprises on reboot.
On the bug fixes side, two annoyances surfaced during community testing and have now been quashed:
- Partition-label whitespace: Clonezilla’s dialog menus used to choke on labels containing spaces, occasionally throwing the cryptic “unknown partition device” error. A lively thread on SourceForge traced the culprit to overzealous shell escaping in
ocs-get-dev-info; the patch removes that escape so labels display (and clone) correctly. - Whiptail alignment quirk: Related to the same issue, menu entries that once mis-aligned or displayed an extra backslash now render cleanly.
