-This is an analysis of Clonezilla and how it might be integrated into Deterlab as a replacement to the MFS image arrangement we currently have using frisbee to distribute images to Deter nodes. The main motivations behind switching to such a system is that it hopefully is more widely used and, thus, maintained by a number of different projects, and that it might increase the rate at which we can image new nodes, allowing us to bring experiments up more quickly.

 Partclone is a project developed by NCHC as a replacement to partimage and is the default imaging system used by Clonezilla. It has support for many more filesystems, though ext2, ext3, ext4, hfs+, reiserfs, reiser4, btrfs, vmfs3, vmfs5, xfs, jfs, ufs, ntfs, fat(12/16/32), exfat.
 
-Ntfsclone 
+Ntfsclone for the purpose of this analysis I didn't look into ntfsclone too much. As the name suggests, it only supports cloning ntfs.
 
 dd is exactly what you’d expect, it simply runs dd on the partition and writes it to a file.  The file is generally gzipped to save some space, though it still ends up being very large. Since the above systems support most of the common file system formats dd is rarely used, though it is available if a partition’s file system is unsupported.
