Stable v3.1.0-22
When cloning from a 1TB Adata nvme to a 2TB Crucial nvme in Beginner mode with defaults, I chose to create the partition table on the target drive proportionately. (-k switch)
I then rebooted into the cloned drive.
Under Drive Management, the newly created partition table showed the now extended C:\ partition, followed by a 2GB system or recovery partition at the end of the drive- all seemed well.
However, File Explorer still showed the C:\ drive as approximately 224GB free of 970GB
I tried the same clone using 2 nvme slots, as well as a USB enclosure with the same results.
Finally, I gave up and simply cloned the drive again (with Clonezilla) using the original partition table and then used another tool (Aomei Partition Assistant) to move the system partition to the right (to the end of the drive) and finally, extend the C:\ partition.
In my websearches, I could only find one similar situation, and the suggested solution stated that "..not all cloning software can accurately guess at the proportionate partition size. Try another cloning solution."
I have use Clonezilla to successfully clone from small to large drives using the -k switch several times (on both UNIX-like and Windows systems) , using different manufacturers (WD, Samsung, Silicon Power, Adata) but could not get this one to work this time (Adata-> Crucial).
Is this a known limitation of the -k switch that is being developed, or would it be productive to file a bug report..or a Windows problem..a Crucial quirk..or some other option?
Please advise and thanks.
