Download clonezilla zip version and place it into the directory /usr/local/tftp/clonezilla.
Create a small shell script to extract required files:
/usr/local/tftp/clonezilla/extract_clonezilla.sh
#!/bin/sh
unzip -j clonezilla-live-*.zip live/vmlinuz live/initrd.img live/filesystem.squashfs -d /usr/local/tftp/clonezilla/
And execute it:
chmod +x extract_clonezilla.sh
./extract_clonezilla.sh
Create a new folder and share it with NFS:
zfs create -o compression=on -o exec=off -o setuid=off zstorage/partimag
zfs set mountpoint=/home/partimag zstorage/partimag
zfs set sharenfs="-mapall=idefix -network=192.168.0/24" zstorage/partimag
chown idefix /home/partimag
