    Hi,

    I am planning to clone a pendrive(eMMC reader containing Fedora OS) into multiple pendrives. All are eMMC readers. For that I booted with clonezilla-live in a bootable pendrive. The PC is connected with 2 more pendrives(eMMc readers). My plan is to take image of sdc as first step.

    sdc - Source clone disk
    sdd, sde,- multiple destination clone disk

    I selected 'Mode: save disk' and when it asked me to choose source. I selected only 'sdc'. -q2 priority default extra parameters -z1p Use parallel gzip compression 0 size MB. I created image.

    I used the same image into cloning using mdisk option to other 2 eMMc readers (sdd,sde).

    When I finished installation, I took the cloned emmc cards and put it in another machines. It gives me following error:

    Warning: /dev/fedora/root does not exist
    Warning: /dev/fedora/swap does not exist
    Warning: /dev/mapper/fedora-root does not exist

    Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to continue

    dracut:/#

    It seems like some files are not copied. Can someone please tell me if I made any mistake in taking the image.

    Thanks in advance.
    uv.

    Looks like you have LVM mode in your image?
    If so, Clonezilla tries to use dd mode for your multiple devices restoring.
    Since there is only one LV device can be existing in the same machine when restoring, I believe this is the culprit.
    So far there is no any solution. However, if you can try to avoid LV when you install Fedora, it should work.
