Restore to larger disk didn't restore ext2/3/4 partitions inside extended partition

[Dave Crookes]

I made a automatic clone of a ~250G harddrive of my Mum's pc's drive, which boots to Ubuntu 12.04, to have an emergency backup. I thought I would restore it to a Oracle virtualbox machine, with a larger virtual disk (350G), to ensure I can recover.

The backup was to a USB drive, backing up a device image to the drive.

I used expert mode on the restore, with -r to attempt to resize partition filesystems, and the -k1 option for scaling the drive partitioning.

The problem is that several partitions didn't restore. All the partitions that didn't restore were inside an extended partition. This seems to be a problem looking at the log output for clonezilla inside /var/log/clonezilla.log.

Is this a clonezilla limitation and is there a way I can handle this by hand?

I think you have made and got
-saveparts with clonezilla live ...'i386'.. (1 CPU !) for
-an 'Oracle virtualbox machine' with
-a larger 'virtual disk' (250GB -> 350GB) with
-an external USB drive as repository

And now I would look for
-'blkdev.list' in your clone image and made with
-'gparted live' a little greater partitions in the new 'Oracle VM'

If it's possible in the BIOS of target machine deactivate to
- Hyperthreading : off (only 1 CPU is activated!)

Now it should be possible to restore the image.

Additionally if you use different hardware make a look for
