Using version 1-2-2.31. I have a disk with one NTFS, one FAT32 and one ext4 partition on it. I've tried several times to image the disk. Clonezilla errors on the ext4 partition. I get the following message:

Part clone fail
Checking Disk Space
(Standard in) 1: syntax error
Something went wrong

I'm sure there is sufficient disk space. Can anyone help?

Try to run fsck.ext4 before you save the image. You might also to give Clonezilla live 20091113-karmic a try. By entering expert mode, check "-fsck-src-part", it will try to check and fix the integrity of your ext4 partition.

The reason to use 20091113-karmic is 1.2.2-31 does not support grub on ext4. If you have such layout, it's better to use 20091113-karmic.
