Hello,
I have used clonezilla-live-3.1.1-27-i686.iso to create an image of WinXp (x86) disk, which was saved to USB HDD.
Later on, I would like to restore the disk image to a virtual machine (VirtualBox, Debian 11) via Samba. The torage of a virtual machine is bigger than the original disk (380 GB vs 300 GB). Once I try to restore the image to virtual machine, at first everything starts well. But after 1-2 mins the progressbar screen turns into the one on the screenshot. At the same time the read/write speed gradually decreases.
Any idea what can it be?

The very last line is:
note: kworker/2:1[59] exited with irqs disabled

Looks like you hit a bug of Linux kernel.
Maybe give testing Clonezilla live a try, e.g., 3.1.2-3 or 20231204-noble:

They come with newer Linux kernel so it might work for you.

I have used Clonezilla-live-3.1.1-27 but amd64 architecture to restore the image and the problem is gone!
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, if you can, always use amd64 release first.
