#442 "box" is an unkown partition device on target selection for restoreparts
"box" is an unkown partition device on target selection for restoreparts. A saved image with savedisk was selected to restore with restoreparts. One of the 3 saved partition was selected. When it should show the available target, it stopped. The Target drive (nvme0n1) is empty (cleared with fdisk and deletion of all partitions).
used version: clonezilla-live-3.3.2-31-amd64.iso
Thanks for your feedback. Please boot Clonezilla live 3.3.2-31 on the machine you have such an issue, enter command line prompt, then run:
If you are familiar with screen or tmux, before running the 2nd command, enter it so it's easier to copy the output on the screen.
Then please share the output on the screen. Thanks.
I have tried.
With your commands (added with a "screen -L -Logfile screenlog.txt") I dont get the error. I have tried a 2nd time, where I started "bash -x clonezilla" instead of your 2nd command. This resulted in screenlog2.txt.
But after some testing and better understanding, I think it is by design and not a bug. If there are no existing partitions to choose as target, the restoreparts will always exit with this error.
We have added a mechanism to avoid this issue in Clonezilla live >= 3.3.3-17 or 20260722-*:

Please give it a try and let us know the results. Thanks.
