Bug Description

drbl-ocs.conf is outdated, it uses -z option for partclone, which is apparently removed.
Because of that, clonezilla fails on moving actual data from one partition to another with a error:

partclone.ntfs: invalid option -- 'z'

(actually, it just continues like nothing happens, but data isn't moved)

I fixed it by modifying /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf:

PARTCLONE_SAVE_OPT_INIT="-m 10485760"
PARTCLONE_RESTORE_OPT_INIT="-m 10485760"
PARTCLONE_RESTORE_ONTHEFLY_OPT_INIT="-m 10485760"

(there were some "-z"s there)

But i'm not sure if it's the best solution, cause the comment above that lines says

>> From Partclone 0.2.61, we switch to use "-z" instead of "-m":

So i hope someone with the knowledge will make it work again. Thanks.

The problem occured to me when i used the clonezilla from a LiveUSB of Linux Mint 17.2 mate edititon, so maybe it is already fixed, but updating the live instance didn't help that. Anyway, i think it is important, that such thing as disk cloning would work on Live version, because i believe it's a very popular usecase.
