#280 can not seek in input: Illegal seek
when partclone checks the image i get the failure from the title (not a catastrophic failure progress moves along but still maybe something to be fixed)

Thanks. This message is from pixz, and actually we are waiting for the upstream to fix that:
https://github.com/vasi/pixz/issues/62
No idea why it's not fixed...

any update on this? it still looks opened
is there any way to workaroudn it? or if it fails wait a bit and retry again ?
right now every time it fails i just restart the whole reimaging process again, and it's time consuming, will be nice if clonezilla coudl handle this
i upgraded to clonezilla-live-20180606-bionic-amd64.iso but still see the issue
partclone.c,open_target,1611: open /dev/sda1 error(17)
error exit
partclone fail, please check ....
can not seek in input: illegal seek
Are you sure it's the same issue? If so, the workaround is to avoid using pixz. By default Clonezilla actually uses pigz, or you can enter expert mode, and use other options, like -z8p, or -z9p.
