    Hello

    On a Windows 7 computer whose (NTFS) C partition I previously cloned a couple of times successfully onto its (NTFS) E partition… the latest CZ ("alternative 20140915-trusty", ie. Ubuntu) fails working with the following error message:

    Clonezilla image home directory /home/partimage is not a mounting point! Failed to mount other device as /home/partimag!

    Incidently, the list only shows the first line "/top_directory_blah", not the rest of the list.

    I tried amd64 and i386, to no avail. I also tried the "stable" version ("stable releases - 2.2.4-12 i686-pae", ie. Debian), same result.

    Does someone know what I could try?

    Thank you.

    PS: Just in case, more infos on the drives:

    The error message is correct.
    The reel mount point is:
    '/home/partimag' without 'e' on the end.
    (a holdover of linux with 8 characters from the early years)
