[ SOLVED] How do I tell clonezilla to not modify any files in the destination during whole disk restore?
I noticed that at some point it says "Re-creating initrd" which invokes dracut which re-generates the initrd, and this is something I don't expect to happen for a cloning software. Even if kernel device name had changed, on my systems grub and filesystems are looked up with labels and uuids.
At worst, I should have been asked before doing that, even in Beginner mode.
cloned OS: Fedora Linux
EDIT: found it under Expert mode, [*] -iui Do not update initramfs file(s) on the restored GNU/Linux.
