I don't see much in the way of Clonezilla questions, and have spent hours googling - nothing seems to answer my question - several SourceForge articles come close, but then the "answer" is found and the OP trails off and nothing's posted revealing the magic secret.
Plainly stated - I'm trying to get a bash script ran in Clonezilla to populate the next ocs_prerun option listed.
Consider the following bash script:
#!/bin/bashdriveLet=cdriveNum=3echo drive Number is $driveNumecho drive Letter is $driveLetexport driveNumexport driveLetI get the output of
drive Number is 3drive Letter is cBut then in my ocs_prerun2 parameter, the values aren't posted when it runs, and it tries to simply mount /dev/sd into the images folder. If I manually supply 'c' and '3' appropriately, it works fine. The bash script I'm actually using is determining which disks and drives are currently installed to the PC, including the Clonezilla Drive, and mapping the appropriate repository since this can change depending on my use case. I've tried directly casting the variables as shown in my example and cannot get anything to stick. What am I missing?
I've also tried placing the entire mount portion inside the bash script as well and it still fails to find the image appropriately.
