Hi, I am new to Clonezilla and am testing it out because I need a backup/clone program that needs to be able to clone various different disk partitions, specifically including ext4, which many other utilities will not (yet) handle.
I am working on a Dell Precision 690 with Clonezilla v 2.1.1-25 (downloaded today), which was put on a USB drive with LiveLinux.
The partition table of the drive that I want to clone looks like this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 6 48163+ de Dell Utility
/dev/sda2 7 529 4200997+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda3 * 530 554 200812+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 555 9726 73674090 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 555 9472 71633803+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 9473 9726 2040223+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Everything is nicely cloned, except for sda2 which reports: sda2 unknown fat type and this partition is subsequently skipped. There is no other information anywhere that shows what might have gone wrong.
Does anyone have suggestions how to go from here?
Thanks,
Mark

Could you boot Clonezilla live, then run:
1. sudo -i
2. parted -s /dev/sda print
3. blkid
Please post the results of (2) and (3).
