Clonezilla (20090627-jaunty) starts to clone (partimage) but stops and says "FS has been mounted 135216596 times without being checked" . That's not true, my Ubuntu (9.04 2.6.28-13.45) starts a fsck at every boot.
Only thing that I can do is to go to console and type in manually a fsck. This runs good and tells me, that this FS has been mounted 1 times without being checked. After that, I must reboot and than Clonezilla runs perfect.
And this procedure happens every time I want to save.
Is there something damaged on my drive? Ubuntu has no error messages (as far as I know - me still dumbo!) What can I do and how?
Can somebody help me?

Ext4 is quite a new file system, so maybe that's why it happens...
I think maybe we have to wait for the newer extfs tools...

Maybe I should have mentioned, that it WAS running good some time ago! Problem is I don't know the exact point when something changed. With Ubuntu 9.04 trouble came (system freezes again and again) and so I install every update that I can get, in hope that this error don't come again. Maybe with some of those updates anything has changed for the worse?
But round about 10 days ago Clonezilla was running fine, with ext4, with SATA... weep...

It was one version before 20090627 (don't have that anymore), but I think 20090627 was fine, too, at the beginning, but I'm not sure.
Should I try another version, instead of jaunty?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, maybe try the one in the testing branch, e.g. 1.2.2-24.
//NOTE// If your grub /boot partition is on ext4, 1.2.2-24 won't handle that correctly. It will fail when re-run grub-install. So use that carefully.
Grub does not officially support ext4. The one in Jaunty is patched...

Just downloaded 1.2.2-24 and tried to save, it's just the same: 'FS has been mounted 135216596 times...' no success.
(Thanks for the note about grub, I could help myself by taking the "Drive Image" boot CD. I use to save my Win partition with this prog and is saves grub separately)

Some minutes ago I had a power failure due to lightning. System didn't start anymore. The restore with Clonezilla runs excellent!

Pogo,
I am now in France and I finally got internet access to my email account. Sorry for the late response.
As for your problem, I think it's only when we have newer Clonezilla live based on Ubuntu 9.10 (maybe beta), the problem will be gone... So far I am not sure if any better solution exists.
Please be patient.
Steven.

Merci beaucoup, Steven!
I'll try to be patient ;) just one last question:
When I boot with Clonezilla, I go to command line and do the fsck manually before saving. How do I get back to the Clonezilla menue without booting?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi Pogo,
You can just run "exit" in the console 1 and it will back to the main menu.
Or you can press ctrl-alt-2 to go to console 2, and run:
sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla
One idea I have now is, maybe we can add an option so that you can force to run the file system check tool before saving or cloning...
Steven.

And that's a great idea!! Best with the possibility to check all partitions a once or only the ones that get used.
Have a good time!

Pogo,
We will try to add this function in the fugure release, and of couse, this option will be applied to the partitions which will be saved.
BTW, just want to make sure, this problem exists only when you do "disk to image" or it also on "disk to disk" clone ?

Sorry, but until now I never used "disk to disk" clone.
Could you also add an"Num Lock on" at boot with Clonezilla? It ignores my BIOS settings, so I have to set it manually.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
From http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/showcontent.php?topic=99_Misc
You can use "ocs_numlk=on" in the boot parameter to turn it on.
Some people do not like to make the numberlock on automatically. Especially if you have laptop keyboard. It will "mess up" the keyboard in the beginning.

I've got *EXACTLY* the same error message using clonezilla-live-1.2.2-26 on a USB stick to clone disk-to-disk Fedora 11 on a 80 GB external USB drive to a new,empty 250GB external drive.
Message reads: "Partclone v 0.1.1 (Rev:304M) FS has been mounted 135216596 times without being checked. Run fsck"
The native Fedora 11 Palimpset Disk Utility does not indicate any problem with the source disk.
As using fsck on a Fedora LVM is a complicated business is there any way around the clonezilla limitation which will allow the disk-to-disk clone to proceed?

The good news is that I didn't encounter the very large number problem using clonezilla-live-20090812-jaunty.zip installed on a 2GB USB stick and the disk-to-disk clone operation started OK.
The bad news is that I abandoned the job after 1hour's running as only 4.33% of the cloning had been done and the estimated time remaining was 22hrs 4mins. Is this sort of time typical when cloning an 80GB disk to a 250GB disk or is it hardware related?
My setup is a Dell Dimension 2400 with 1GB of RAM and I'm cloning from one 2.5" external 5200rpm USB drive to another.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
"Is this sort of time typical when cloning an 80GB disk to a 250GB disk or is it hardware related? " -> No, the speed is too slow... Normally you can clone that with the rate about 600 MB/min to 1 GB/min.
I believe this is kernel/hardware support issues.
Maybe try the "failsafe" mode, or wait for another updated release of Clonezilla live.

Thanks for that. But first I'm going to try cloning Jaunty from an internal 80GB hard drive to the 250GB external USB drive to see if the speed is faster than the cloning between the two US external drives. I'll post the results.

So the problem is only on 20090627-jaunty, or on 20090701-jaunty?
Which file system are you using on your Ubuntu 9.04 ? Ext4 ?
Steven.
It seems to be independent from the version of Clonezilla, I tried both mentioned versions.
And yes, it's ext4 as FS and the drive is SATA.
Ext4 is quite a new file system, so maybe that's why it happens...
I think maybe we have to wait for the newer extfs tools...

I get the same message, slightly different number - 135212704
Attempting to copy sda6, sda7, sdb1, all ext3. All checked every 20 or so mounts. PATA/IDE, not SATA
Dunno of it's relevant, I use Ubuntu hardy, jaunty, gutsy, winxp, puppy. But I boot to the clonezilla partition to do backups, so I can't see the relevance of other os's
Did ok copying a ntfs and lots of other ext3's
Live version, ie a partition that boots to clonezilla
I forget the wording, but I saved all individual partitions to images, eg
garry@toybox-jaunty:~$ ls -l /media/seagate_tera/toybox/2009-08-10-20-partitions_img.clz
