    Hello,
    i have a little problem and i can't find any solution on google.

    I have a new ThinkBook x200 with a 250GB SSD and windows 7 professional.
    I can boot and use the machine without any problems. After basic configuring i tryed to save the whole disk with clonezilla live.
    Its a PXE Setup that works perfectly with over 100 Clients and a variety of systems. I also used it with other Thinkpad X200 Laptops (no SSD) saveing/restoring.

    But this Laptop makes problems. After confirming that i want to save the disk i get the error message:

    /ussr/share/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions: line 2651:..
    ... and a couple more of this lines ...

    unknown partition table format on disk /dev/sda.
    Programm beendet!! (program terminated)
    "ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -zip -i 2000 -p true savedisk ask_user ask_user" finish error!

    This happend with a older version of Clonezilla live and with the newest stable (downloaded today)

    regards
    Robert

    Solved!

    It was my fault. Recently i moved from SMB to NFS. Because of performance reasons i mounted the NFS Share only readable. Works with restoring, but ofcorse not saving =)

    Anyway - the error message is rly confusing. Would be great if CZ recognice if it has write permissions on /home/partimag

      Thanks for your post, this is exactly what just happened to me on version 2.4.9-17

      My samba share on windows did not have write permissions.

        @mcarison,
        So could you:
        1. Take a photo about the errors on the screen then post it?
        2. Describe the steps you have done. It's easier for us to reproduce the issue here.
        Thanks.

        Steven

    OK. Thanks for the suggestion. Clonezilla should test if the image repository is writable or not. If not, give error about that.
    We will add the in the future release.

    Steven.

    This issue was fixed in testing Clonezilla live, i.e. Clonezilla live 2.4.0-7, 20150330-*.
    If you can, please give it a try and let us know the results.
    Thanks.

    Steven.

    linuxmint 17.2
    create an image of A partition ------> store on B partition
    an error Unknown partition table format on disk /dev/sda appear

    actually this is not a partition table problem !!!
    my B partition is not enough disk space to perform the backup process.
    reboot
    open terminal
    mount partition B
    cd to it
    $ sudo rm -r .Trash-0

    problem fixed
