    Hi guys,
    Not sure that what is this but when taking the image, Clonezilla live show that the disk is full, I attached the photo here.
    HP 15s-fq2739TU
    512GB SSD
    It says 1hr to take the image, make me look at the screen, then realize it shows the Free space is 0???
    But it takes 18 minutes when I am typing this and 95% finish
    Not sure what causing this?
    Ah, clonezilla-live-3.1.0-22-amd64 version
    Ta

      What's the file system for your /dev/nvme0n1p3?
      Is it NTFS but with bitlocker?
      If so, due to the encryption, Clonezilla can only use dd to save the file system.

    It says you have a RAW file system - so it can't compute free space and so it uses dd to do a byte by byte image - which is going to copy all the space (including unused space), which is slow, but effective.

    If you believe it should have more normal file system, then you should investigate.

    I have checked, it happened on Lenovo laptop as well, and they are definitely NTFS with no bit locker.
    Not sure what to do and the imaging time is nearly 45 minutes for one 256GB disk, it is never like this before, not sure is there any update in Windows causing this.
    Is there anything in Bios may cause this like secure boot...?????

    If it's NVMe device, maybe you can enter expert mode, and enable the "-edio" option.
