#286 Mint 18.2 - Failed to use partclone program to save or restore an image.
Hello.
I have tried to make Live CD (Linux Mint 18.2 Cinammon Live CD) with Clonezilla and VNC. So I make my "own" Live CD. After all when I try to make with this Live CD image of phisical machine's disk (160 GB) on the last step with Partclone I have error "Checking the disk space .... Failed to use partclone program to save or restore an image. Press Enter to continue....". When I make the same steps on virtual machine (Hyper V, 20 GB disk) everything is ok. When I try to make image of this phisical machine with Clonezilla Live: stable - 2.5.2-31 everything is ok, no errors.
I do some tests also on "clear" Linux Mint 18.2 Cinammon Live CD booted from USB stick. My steps:
1. Booting phisical machine from Linux Mint 18.2 Cinammon Live CD from USB stick
2. Adding drbl repo:
wget -q http://drbl.org/GPG-KEY-DRBL -O- | sudo apt-key add -
insert to /etc/apt/sources.list : deb http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core drbl stable
3. Installation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clonezilla
After this I have:
ipcalc 0.41-5
partimage 0.6.8-2.2.ubuntu1
udpcast 20120424-1ubuntu1
wakeonlan 0.41-11
drbl 2.25.11-drbl1
partclone 0.2.91-drbl1
clonezilla 3.27.20-drbl1
With this steps I can't make image of phisical machine. I have tried on two different machines. Source disk is smaller than local (usb) destination disk. I have tried booting this from USB Stick and from CD/DVD.
The same with Linux Mint 18.3.
I have tried also with newest versions of Debian and Ubuntu.
Could you tell me what I do wrong? Maybe I have to install something more or try with another versions of packages ?
Thanks.
Sorry for wrong ticket's category. Should be in Support Requests.
This is not easy for us to tell you where went wrong there, although Linux Mint is very similar to Debian or even Ubuntu, yet there are still some differences. Unless we do it here and reproduce the issue, then spend some time to dig them. Otherwise we have no idea about those errors there.
In fact, we do not have so much time to make Clonezilla on different underlaying GNU/Linux. Therefore if you can, try to help us to make Debian-based or Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live better instead of having your own solution.
Thanks.
Steven
