using Clonezilla (Live CD Version 1.2.10-14) for the first time in order to test for a project. Have experience with g4u and UNIX dd.
For test try to create an image of a 80 GB HDD where the first half is occupied by a Solaris system (with ufs filesystems inside the Primary 'boot' partition) and the second half is not assigned (verified with gparted).
Unfortunately clonezilla, even if I choose the 'savedisk' Option and only dd as copy method (tried the others as well but always the same BAD result), the clonezilla (Linux) 'sees' about 10 partitions on the disk. From the messages it seems to identify some of the ufs Solaris slices (inside the Solaris primary partition).
This is strange - in 'whole disk' mode, the program should not care about the partitions - even if it thinks it sees some … actually it starts a new image for each of the 'partitions' it sees: sda1; sda2; …. and saves them accordingly …
What is the problem ?
Thank you in advance for your hints.

I do not have any experience about imaging a Solaris system… Is it similar to FreeBSD's slice?
