Advanced option -t, -r, and -k1

[Bill Harris]

I read in the docs somewhere that the default for -t is off, but, when I started down the advanced mode path, I could swear that -t had an asterisk next to it. I decided not to risk it and went back to beginner mode, figuring that I might have misunderstood the meaning of -t and beginner mode would do things correctly. You might check how it's set in the code; it will be hours before I can again check on my system. :-)

Unfortunately, after starting restoring with beginner mode, I also discovered -r and -k1 options, which could have been handy. I don't know of any graceful way to get out of Clonezilla, so I guess I'll resize with the Gnome disk utility or GParted later.

That brings up a suggestion, though: I didn't really want to expand all my partitions proportionally to the new drive (750GiB instead of 640GiB); I would like to put that extra 110GiB in two of the partitions. If you had room in Clonezilla to add the ability to select which partitions to expand with -r and -k1, that would be great.

Thanks,

Bill

"If you had room in Clonezilla to add the ability to select which partitions to expand with -r and -k1, that would be great." -> It would be easier to use GParted to resize that. However, if you want to use Clonezilla for that, just create the partition table in the destination disk as you want, put the size you like in the destination disk. Then when restoring or cloning, do not create partition table on the destination disk, i.e. use the option "-k", and also enable "-r". By doing this, clonezilla will use the partititon size you have on the destination (-k), and will expand the file system size to fit the partition size (-r).
