Is this issue reproducible on different machines? Not sure if it's Linux kernel related. Please try the latest testing Clonezilla live? e.g., 3.3.3-33 or 20260829-*: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php They come with different latest Linux kernels so the result might be different.
greetings all... i have been using clonezilla for years, and find it to be a wonderful, dependable imaging solution for most all my imaging needs... rarely any issues... however today... restoring images with standalone usb live boot drives... i witnessed painfully slow restore speeds... and estimated times... in hours... standare 60GB image, pulled from a server using ssh... the space used was reported as zero... and the estimated completion time was around 25 hours... using 2-3 different versions...
Thanks for your feedback. This issue should be fixed in the testing Clonezilla live. Please give Clonezilla live >= 3.3.3-33 or 20260829-* a try and let us know the result: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php

Not very sure... Is that possible you can try to use Clonezilla live to reproduce this issue? Say using 3.3.3-15 or 3.3.3-32: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
Yes!
Thanks for sharing that.
So everything is working well now?
thank you. that worked

Sorry Steven, I hadn't used the spacebar to select the source disk. HI

The latest change to the message should clarify…

Maybe you can try to select the KMS mode in the boot menu? https://clonezilla.org//fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/01_Save_disk_image
Is that possible you can take a video and share it? That would be easier to know the whole process. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing those photos. So sdb is the source disk, and sdd is the destination disk. In this step: https://ibb.co/XZNKm10d Did you mean you can _NOT_ use space bar to mark the source disk (sdb)? Or?
Please give testing Clonezilla live >= 3.3.3-28 a try: https://clonezilla.org//downloads.php We have made some improvements. Please let us know the result if you try it. Thanks.
This what I see when I boot into Clonezilla. I cannot do anything because the rendering is messed. I tried: alternative stable - 20260705-resolute stable - 3.3.3-15 alternative testing - 20260804-resolute alternative testing - 20260804-stonking testing - 3.3.3-22 testing 3.3.2-27 Same error on all of the above builds.

Please run: drbl-bug-report then share the generated file. BTW, maybe you can give unstable drbl a try? We have made some changes so the issue you encountered might be fixed.

Which version of Clonezilla live did you use? What's the green command of ocs-sr shown on your screen? Like this: Which one is the source device you want to choose? And the destination disk? It's not very clear from the photos you provided.

I meant the test is only for the TUI, terminal user interface, where the '"Box" is an unknown hard drive device' issue happens. If you do not confirm the saving or restoring job, it won't read or write the data from/to your hardware.
If it helps: I solved it with version 3.3.1-35. Greetings

I backed up a partition nvme0n1p3 to an image and immediately restored it (saved image to original partition). It went well and did it. But I am curious to a prompt in the middle; Creating a tmp clonezilla image "2026-07-27-img-tmp-cnvted" based on the image "2026-07-27-img" so that we can restore the image "2026-07-27-img" (was saved from nvme0n1) to nvne0n1 ... Why does it need to do this ? (nothing has changed) and why does it need to ask me before doing it ?

I have no idea what you just said. it's now 2 hours ago so I assume plenty of time for an edit but none happened. What does "Well, just test it the TUI." mean? is it English? Cause I don't understand it.
I have no idea what you just said.
Not very sure what you meant... Maybe take a video then share it?
Well, just test it the TUI. Basically it's harmless to your system if you do not really save or restore the image.
Isn't that the testing version I,E, not stable?
There are no error messages. You can't select the source disk (to be cloned), it asks if you want to repeat the selection, continuously, without result.
Please give testing Clonezilla live a try, i.e., >= 3.3.3-18: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php Let us know the result. Thanks.
BTW, I'm using the builtin (Linux) USB image writer.
it seems to be back with the version 3.3.3-15-amd64.iso but not with the resolute one.
What did you mean by "it shows the USB HDD disks, but does NOT select them"? Please take some photos about the messages on the screen and share that with us. Thanks.
After updating Secure Boot certificates WINDOWS 11, Clonezilla (vers. 3.3.3-16 the latest, but also the previous one) no longer performs the clone (for me) (it shows the USB HDD disks, but does NOT select them).

Cool. Thanks for confirming that.
Thx fo' yo' hard graft, hopefully not too hard!?! OS model works well it would seem. Keep up the great work!!!
