#109 "Part to Remote Part" Defining Source/Target
I am trying to clone a partition on machine A (sda1) to a partition on machine B (sda5) using a ethernet crossover cable.
Machine A:
ocs-onthefly -r -rescue -fsck-src-part -v -k -a -f sda1
Machine B:
ocs-onthefly -s 192.168.1.1 -t sda5
The relevant error message appears on the client(target):
Restoring sda5 from 192.168.1.1:9004...
No file system was found in /dev/sda5!
Machine A has only one drive with one partition (sda1). Machine B has one drive with multiple partitions (including sda5).
It seems like 'it' is ignoring the -f option on the source machine and assuming the source partition number matches the target partition number--this is not correct in my case and obviously very limiting in what can be done with remote partition cloning.
Yes, this is still the limitation of Clonezilla live. For partition cloning or restoring in "restoreparts", the destination partition order must be the same as the source one, i.e. image saved from 1st partition can only be restored to 1st partition, unless you manually convert that:
