Is maintaining arch parity a requirement documented by upstream, or something you observed in testing? If it's not upstream, you'll want to include it in a partimage-README.txt
Yes, Jon. According to my tests, the interface hangs when I use a 32 bit client (from system-rescuecd) connected to a 64 bit server. Since the normal usage is booting from a CD, so all partitions are unmounted (and making the image) the server, in general, will have to be 32 bits.
Also, the server options have to match the client compilation options. Since the client from system-rescuecd use no login and no ssl, the server has to disable those options in /etc/sysconfi/partimaged.
Note that partimage is developed by the team from System-rescuecd.
