I have a system with an hfs mac partition, an ext3 ubunut /boot and then an ext4 ubuntu /home.
I've used a test/experimental version of clonezilla to successfully clone this before.
Just downloaded latest version and the clone failed on the ext4. With the experimental I had to use a special -j2 option i believe. do i still have to do that here?

hmm.. actually it wasn't 1.2.2-26 but it was after the experimental version I had used that did work where i had to select j2 option.
I also picked advanced mode but just hit enter through all the defaults (just wanted to see all the options). Are beginner and advanced mode the same if you don't change any of the advanced mode options?

"Are beginner and advanced mode the same if you don't change any of the advanced mode options?" -> Yes.
BTW, "-j2" is on by default, isn't it?

ok last night it failed on the /boot partition i have that is ext3. Prior to that partition it successfully ran on the hfs+ one and after i hit enter for the failure it successfully did my / and /home ext4 partitions.
I assume the log is on my nfs server somewhere so i'll look for that when i get home and post it.

If you are familiar with command "screen", try to run the following command on the client:
LANG=C bash -x /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-sr -x
Remember to choose "-nogui" so that the dialog won't overwrite the output messages.
By doing this, it will show very verbose output on the screen, then you can dig the error messages.

"the clone failed on the ext4" -> What's the error messages?
Which version of Clonezilla live did you use? Clonezilla live 1.2.2-26? or?
If it's 1.2.2-26, it should work by default (beginner mode).

it was 1.2.2-23 version.

yes it was. that's why i was surprised it failed. I'll try again tonight with the -26 version.
ok last night it failed on the /boot partition i have that is ext3. Prior to that partition it successfully ran on the hfs+ one and after i hit enter for the failure it successfully did my / and /home ext4 partitions.

hmm there seems to be no /var/log/partclone.log file anywhere. not on my system or on the nfs server…
how can I tell what is going wrong?
