Clonezilla Live 3.3.0-33 has been officially released, showcasing a range of new features and improvements aimed at enhancing the user experience for disk cloning and imaging. Developed by Steven Shiau, this update introduces noteworthy support for cloning MTD block and eMMC boot devices, now available in expert mode.
One of the standout additions in this release is the inclusion of the ocs-blkdev-sorter tool, which enables udev to create Clonezilla alias block devices located in /dev/ocs-disks/. This release also enhances the synchronization capabilities with the new ocs-live-time-sync tool, which pairs with ocs-live-netcfg to ensure timely data management.
Additionally, Clonezilla Live 3.3.0-33 incorporates new features in its tools, such as the -uoab option for ocs-sr and ocs-live-feed-img, allowing for easier selection of Clonezilla alias block device names via the text-mode UI. The introduction of the ocs-cmd-screen-sample tool and ocs-live-gen-ubrd tool further extends functionality, enabling better data management within the application.
The update sees several packages added to the live system, including atd and cron, enhancing the system’s automation capabilities. The live boot mechanism has been fine-tuned, with automatic adjustments for console font sizes based on the display’s dimensions. Furthermore, the new installation also checks for existing LVM thin provisioning and adds updates to various scripts for better file management and processing.
Notably, this release has made user interaction smoother by moving locale and keymap selection to the login shell, allowing users to utilize the fbterm in an interactive environment. Performance improvements and adjustments have been made to the output formats, such as for the ocs-scan-disk command, ensuring better readability.
Bug fixes address several operational issues, including correcting how the --batch option interacts within the ocs-functions program and ensuring that image names can now appropriately accommodate special characters.
With its underlying system rebased to the Debian Sid repositories as of October 17, 2025, Clonezilla Live 3.3.0-33 marks a significant step forward in functionality, usability, and overall performance. Users can download the latest version directly from the official website for 64-bit systems, offering a versatile solution for data cloning needs.
