Local disk not visible when restoring a disk image on new MacBook Air

[Paul Lawrie]

Hi, I have an image that I restore onto MacBook Pro's regularly, but Clonezilla does not seem to be able to see the local SSD in a new MacBook Air. I have tried the alternate Ubuntu amd64 build with the same result.

I guess there is something in the way storage is implemented... any tips or solutions would be appreciated :)

Which version of Clonezilla live did you use? Did you tryt o use the latest testing alternative Clonezilla live 20150930-wily amd64:
http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
It coms with the latest Linux kernel 4.2 so it might help.

Hi Steven, thanks for the tip, although I still seem to have the issue. I believe the MacBook Air uses NVMe storage. I've seen that the later builds apparently support that, Is there perhaps some configuration I'd need to add?

Could you please boot Clonezilla live 20151012-wily amd64:
http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php

Then run the following command:
cat /proc/partitions

Please post the results.
Thanks.

Steven.

Any suggestions?

@King,
So sda is your USB flash drive? If so, it looks the harddrive is not detected. I believe we have to wait for the newer Linux kernel to support your hardware.
