I downloaded and unzipped 20240327-noble. Unfortunately it gives the same timed out error. The only difference I see is that instead of a blank screen while waiting for the time out there's the Clonezilla splash screen.
Please give testing Clonezilla live 20240327-noble a try: https://clonezilla.org/ It comes with newer Linux kernel so your hardware might be supported better. Steven
Actually the problem looks even stranger. Even when I removed the SDB HDD from the slot, and the brand new HDD (which is intended to become an image repository) is seen by the Clonezilla, it does NOT appear on the list presented for the image location selection.
I have been happily using Clonezilla for years, including an 3 earlier HP Spectre X360-14 OLED. I received a new, latest generation, Spectre yesterday and Clonezille boots, but as soon as one selects an option it hangs and eventually gives the "Timed out for waiting for the udev queue being empty" message. I have tried: clonezilla-live-3.1.2-9-amd64 clonezilla-live-20240116-mantic-amd64 and clonezilla-live-3.1.2-20-amd64 All fail with the same message. Searching elsewhere, it's evident that this...
I need to restore an image to a hard drive, but the target computer is not at my location. Can I just mount the HD in any old computer I've got in the office & as long as I boot from the Clonezilla CD & once restored, never boot off of the new HD, until its in the target machine, will this work? If not. any advice appreciated! Thanks
Although I resized all partitions to be inside the size of the target disk and the disk size check is disabled, and I chose to use the partition layout of the source, I still get an error because the target disk is smaller. This should be possible, it can't be that difficult?
Hi everyone! I am the first-time Clonezilla user and therefore am probably confused by the minimalistic and (as it looks to me) obscure language the program is using. First of all it discovers all my discs - I have three of them: sda, sdb and sdc. My goal is to create the sda image and save it on sdc. However when it comes to the device selection there are only sda1, sda2, sdb1 and sdb2. It seems it does not allow me to create the image on sdc... or am I missing anything? Are there any more or less...
Fact is: The /dev/sdx mapping shown in lsblk is not constant! On the same hardware when I boot the Clonezilla Linux USB stick I get other /dev/sdx mappings. This is a well-known fact of all Linux distros. I suffer from this on two identical disks, but they have different number of partitions. So ensure you have different number of partitions on your disks to allow identification. When you take backups as images, include the number of partitions in the backup. Alternatively, ls /dev/disk/by-id could...
Important workaround found: This annoying issue happens especially when there where multiple disk saved. Since backups set of single drive let you choose the tarted disk and even a /dev/sdc into /dev/sda translation is supported there, the following trick works: cp disk disk_orig and then edit (vi or nano) the "disk" file. When it contains "sda sdb" for example, change it to "sda" only. This forces restoredisk to use the single drive restore mode with all its features. For restoring the other disk...
I often has this case. First, you should use the GParted tool to shrink the partitions to the target drive size. I always do this in such a way that the last partition would be much smaller. For example when you have a 10 GB drive, then a 300 GB drive and a third partition filling the remaining 1690 GB, I would not shrink 190 GB only, I would shrink it to 100 GB temporarily. After that, do a savedisk in Clonezilla as usual. Note: CHKDKS /F on NTFS volumes required now (use the installation medium's...
I exact ran into the same problem. Fact is: The /dev/sdx mapping shown in lsblk is not constant! On the same hardware when I boot the Clonezilla Linux USB stick I get other /dev/sdx mappings. There are two ways to get rid this problem: 1.) Provide an optional set of kernel parameters to manually force a specific block device to a specific /dev/sdX drive letter 2.) The restoredisk tool always shoud offer a screen to map target disks. This is especially important when the restore must be done on a...
I want to migrate my Win11 environment from a 2TB SSD to a 512GB SSD. I have no need to migrate the /sda7 or /sda8 partitions. They can actually be deleted prior to any other steps necessary to accomplish this. What would be the easiest & safest way to approach this to get all the other partitions migrated to the new drive? Appreciate any assistance.
Sorry, I was ill for a few days and could not devote myself to this problem. Unfortunately, I only found a very old clonezilla.log in the /var/log/ directory. Unfortunately I also don't know under which circumstances clonezilla creates such a log.file - in any case not for the current problem. I have therefore photographed the screen when the clonezilla error message appeared (see uploaded file). Maybe this can be helpful.

Hello Steven You are correct. I was wrong. I did not specify "sudo nano" when I edited the file. I edited /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf using "sudo nano" and removed HPFS from the list of filesystems recognized by Partimage. I then ran Clonezilla specifying -q2 as the special parameter. Clonezilla completed successfully. It backed up the NTFS and FAT partitions using Partclone and backed up the HPFS partition using dd. I restored the cloned image to another machine and tested each partition and determined...
No hard feelings, I'm done with it anyway as well since you even tried to replicate with only one Bitlocker partition when all this is about two. The irony is I don't actually need it for I can USB Hub Clone. I tried it out to see what this method did and thought it would be good to create hot swaps for backups since it can process at 7GB/m which is faster than USB Hub and imagin as clones are ready to go. Unfortuneately it can't handle multiple Bitlocker partiitons, could even be the size of the...

Did you use "sudo", as I mentioned? I.e., run it like: sudo nano /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf Steven
Hello Steven I edited /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf to remove HPFS from the list of supported file systems for Partimage. When I attempted to save my changes, Nano generated a message: "Error writing /ect/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf: Permission denied."
My previous test only contains 1 bitlocker partition. I do not think there is any possibility that 1 or 2 will make difference since Clonezilla treats each one separately. Well thanks for that, I just wasted half an hour comparing your info to mine to see if you had actually done two Bitlocker partitions for I was suspicious when I couldn't find them.

Supposed Partimage works well with HPFS, then you should not encounter this issue. The culprit is Partimage has a bug with HPFS. You should report that to Partimage project. Here I have a workaround for you. Before you start Clonezilla TUI wizard, enter the command line first, then edit the file /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf, e.g., sudo nano /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf Then modify this line: partimage_support_fs="ext2 ext3 reiserfs xfs jfs fat16 fat32 vfat hpfs ufs hfs ntfs" Change it as partimage_support_fs="ext2...

Since you have put "toram=live,syslinux,EFI,boot,.disk,utils", what did you mean by "it just loads clonezilla in the RAM"? That's the correct behavior as the toram's mechanism I believe. If you want to mount your SD card, in addition to the toram, you need to put something like the following in the boot parameters: ocs_prerun="mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/partimag" or ocs_repository="dev:///dev/mmcblk0p1" Ref: https://drbl.org/fine-print.php?path=./faq/2_System/120_image_repository_on_same_usb_stick.faq#120_image_repository_on_same_usb_stick.faq...

Hello Steven I ran a test in Clonezilla in which I opened a command prompt and accessed the Partimage GUI. First, I tried to backup a NTFS partition, Partimage ran successfully. Next I tried to backup the HPFS partition, the task failed with the message "Segmentation Fault", see attached screen print.

That's true. Actually sda, sdb, sdc are random... You might be able to use PTUUID or SERIALNO (short format), e.g., PTUUID=03c8b280-47aa-4881-aca5-9b9c66fe28c7 to assign that.

Works when I enabled UEFI CA in Bios boot configuration. If you do this you must have your BitLocker key present otherwise you are f*. Now CloneZilla boots fine.

Hello The Clonezilla Advanced Extra Parameters page allow a user to select a program and priority. The page says: "Program priority means that if the file system is not supported by the first program, then the next program will be used."

If the file system is not recognized by Partclone, then Clonezilla would attempt to use Partimage....

Here is the error message I am getting, I'm getting all rather lost in this.
Maybe your OS is too old. Normally nowadays the GNU/Linux uses UUID to specify the root file system. By doing so, the boot loader can find the proper disk to boot. You can refer to this: https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/ecs/how-to-modify-the-file-disk-identifier-to-uuid-in-a-linux-image-grub-file Steven
So your purpose is to convert MBR partition table to GPT one? Clonezilla actually won't do this for you. As you have mentioned, you can refer to the URL you provided, or this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1314111/convert-mbr-partition-to-gpt-without-data-loss BTW, since you have cloned that, you can use GParted live to resize the partition size: https://gparted.org Steven
At your suggestion, I removed the original IDE drive from the motherboard and put the IDE clone in the same slot. IT WORKED! The cloned IDE is functioning properly. The cloned USB flash drive still does not work...stalling at "Booting the kernel". I tested it with both IDE slots on the motherboard vacant. Having the IDE clone is excellent. The USB flash was going to be a bonus if it worked. Thank you so much for sticking with me and helping me to get the clone up and running!
that worked. Thank you, Allan

I am sorry to hear that. Normally Clonezilla won't touch the source disk unless there are some bugs, or you choose the wrong source and destination disks... From the picture you provided, it's weird since this kind of partition layout is not on a normal, new disk. I have no idea where it is from. Are you sure both disks you have now have the same partition layout? Steven
You should run with sudo, e.g.,: sudo dhclient -v Steven
In addition to disconnect the power of the source disk, did you try to swap the IDE cable? Since Clonezilla finishes the cloning job, the next booting is the cloned OS itself has to take care. Steven
Or at least you should let us know the exact steps to reproduce this issue. Let us know the green commands on the source machine, and the destination machine so that we can try it. The green command is something like this, i.e. ocs-sr or ocs-onthefly command after you finish the TUI wizard: https://clonezilla.org//clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image/images/ocs-10-5-img-restore-command-prompt.png Steven
Hello, I have been dual booting Arch Linux and Windows on two separate drives for the past year now. Recently, my Arch Linux drive ran out of space, so I bought a new ssd and used Clonezilla to clone my Arch drive into this new drive.

I made sure multiple times that the source and destination drives were correct (took pictures, and wrote down the names, etc.) Using gparted, I can see all that...

I tried user@noble:~$ dhclient RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted I am getting 'user' on this version too. I wonder why I'm getting 'user' and not 'root'. Thank you, Allan
No, both the cloned USB flash drive and the cloned 40-pin IDE drive are being tested on the same machine that has the original source drive. When testing the cloned IDE drive, I have it connected to the second IDE port on the original motherboard, and have the power disconnected to the original source drive in the first IDE port. The "No support for this CPU vendor" shows up very early on in the cloning process, not when testing the clone. I have seen it on many if not all of my cloning attempts....
Hi, Steven Thank you so much!
Steven, that's a solid hard NO. I have already spent countless hours on this. Creating the VM Windows then expansion packs then figuring out how to use the two CZ USBs in the VM yet alone how to create the clone. No, nope, no way not interested. You are welcome to do it if you like. Specs: Source: Lenovo Thinkstation 4157 12GB RAM 6 Core CPU 5680 3.33GHz W11 on 500GB SSD 2 Bitlocker partitions 'C' 215GB and 'D' 279GB. There are other drives but this is the one I clone. Target: Any PC laying around...
