    Hi,

    I'm cloning one server to an identical piece of hardware on an local backend switched network. The IP for the source server is 192.168.2.10, and the client is 192.168.2.11. I kept the default masks of 255.255.255.0, but no nameserver or gateway. I boot the source, go through the steps to do a disk to remote disk clone. I'm cloning the entire sda disk. Everything sets up fine on the source.

    On the second machine, I boot Clonezilla to the command line, set up the network interface, and put in the command the source server prompt gave me. It will clone the first partition (sda1) with no problem. When it gets to sda2, partclone hangs on "Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda2). The only way out is to Ctrl+C, break the loop, let it finish, and both the client and source think it's done. It's clearly able to make contact with the source (since it copies the first partition) but I can't get it to actually copy that second partition. I've also tried just the partition to remote partition on the source and I get the same error.

    Thoughts?

    Could you please show us the partitions layout on the source?
    You can run:
    sudo parted -s /dev/sda print
    to print the partitions table, then post it.
    BTW, which version of Clonezilla live did you use?

    Steven.
