* ... in smaller disk destination*

I used an old ext USB Samsung disk of 1.4 GB to prepare my clone source.

The original machine has

sda                         8:0    0 953.9G  0 disk 
|-sda1                      8:1    0     1G  0 part /mnt/backup_usb
|                                                   /boot/efi
|-sda2                      8:2    0     2G  0 part /mnt/backup_usb
|                                                   /boot
`-sda3                      8:3    0 950.8G  0 part 
  `-ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 252:0    0   100G  0 lvm  /

and cloned disk (vanilla mode) resulted in:

sdd                         8:48   0   1,4T  0 disk 
|-sdd1                      8:49   0     1G  0 part 
|-sdd2                      8:50   0     2G  0 part /media/mune/07a0b567-dfb7-491c-a7b5-58ce5ebff8f4
`-sdd3                      8:51   0 950,8G  0 part 
  `-ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv 253:0    0   100G  0 lvm

The server now is working, but the day it will be not I have to be prepared, so I'm testing now the recover on a miniPC (Intel N-290 , 256 GB SSD).

What is happening is that, even if the room is enough, Clonezilla live stopped the recovery complaining that space is insufficient.
