#273 When i try to clone my System it skips 2 partitions

[Mark Petersen]

When trying to clone my pc it allways skips /dev/sda9 and /dev/sda7 for some reason.
It has done this since CloneZilla 2.5.0.5

If i use CloneZilla 2.4.7-8 it finds these two partitions without any problems.

What information would you need from me to try and fix this.

Hope you can help since i would like to Clone my OpenSUSE system that is located on those two partitions.

Best regards and Thank you,
Darkyere

Please try testing Clonezilla live, like >= 2.5.2-2 or 20170529-*:
http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
If this issue remains, please post it again. We will ask you to provide more info.
Thanks.

Yes this version allso skips my /dev/sda9 and /dev/sdb7

[Steven Shiau]

Thanks. So when you mentioned "clone", you mean to clone disk A to disk B, right? Or did you mean to save the disk as an image?
No matter in any case, please show me the partition table by:
1. sudo parted -s /dev/sda print
(Replace /dev/sda with your source disk)
2. cat /proc/partitions

If woud be better if you can use Clonezilla live to collect the info.
BTW, please provide the image tarball, so that we can try it here. You do not have to include those *ptcl-img* files.

Unfortunately i broke all my Linux System on my pc and had to reinstall. On the new install it finds the devices without any problems.

So in a way this subject can be considered closed.

Sry for the inconvenience but than you for you time.
Best regards
