    Hello,

    I am using clonezilla server edition ( drbl-1.9.4-67, clonezilla-2.3.4-2).
    I encountered a problem when I try clonezilla-save.
    Here is what I did.
    1. execute /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs on clonezilla server host,
        clonezilla-start -> save-disk.
    2. Power on a switch of a host that I want to save disk-image from.
    3. A host network-booted, and start to save image.
    4. I got a following error.
    > Partclone fail, please check /var/log/partclone log!
    > Checking the disk space…
    > (standard_in) 1: parse error
    > Something went wrong!

    So I check on the server logfile( /tftpboot/nodes/192.168.100.3/var/log/partclone.log). and it said,

    > Partclone v0.1.9 (Rev:323M) http://partclone.org
    > Starting to clone device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00) to image (-)
    > Reading Super Block
    > test feature as EXT3
    > Calculating bitmap…
    > readbitmap -1209815032
    > bitmap free count err, free:924490

    On a console, error message also told me,
    > If this action fails or hangs, check:
    > * Is the disk full?
    > * Network connectioin and NFS service.

    But server HDD still has enough vacancy.
    And nothing err message is not found at /var/log/messages.

    Then, I have no idea what should I do next.
    I would highly appreciate if you give me a hand.
    Regards,

    Try to run fsck on the partition you wan to save.
    Make sure it's umounted cleanly.

    Also make sure that the image itself is not corrupted in any way.  If the image in in .gz format, you can run an integrity check on it like this:

    <code>gzip -tv image.gz</code>

    The gz file will be stored inside the folder of the image's name (e.g., /home/partimag/win7, if your image is called "win7").

    Thank you for your advice.

    After fsck, everything works fine, I can confirm save and restore using clonezilla.

    Also, gzip -tv image.gz is good way to confirm before restoring, thanks again!
