I'm attempting to use Clonezilla for the first time. I'm not sure about the exact version number. I just know its fairly recent if not the most recent. I'm attempting to clone an 80GB hard drive in a Gateway 7320GZ to a 320GB hard drive in an iMicro enclosure, via USB with Clonezilla booted off a CD. The 80GB drive has two partitions, one of which is a 4.15GB Recovery partition.
I've followed the disk to disk clone instructions provided to me to the letter. Clonezilla has been running, as of this moment, for 4 days, 3 hours and 17 minutes. That is NOT an exaggeration. That is LITERALLY 99 hours and 17 minutes. Should this be taking this long?
The laptop itself has 1GB of RAM (its maximum) and a 2.4 GHz processor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

And its STILL going after 141 hours and 23 minutes. In three and a half hours, it will be six entire days its been running. And counting. If someone could please tell me if this is normal or not, I'd be most grateful, and what to do if this is NOT normal. Thank you.

No, this is abnormal... Normally if all the hardware is supported by the kernel comes with Clonezilla live, the speed to clone a partition is about 500 MB/min to 2 GB/min, depends on the hardware.
I think there is some issues there. Maybe you can try different version of Clonezilla live, especially the alternative (Ubunut-based" one.

I am a Clonezilla newbie trying clonezilla-live-20090812-jaunty. I want to clone a 1000GB disk to an identical 1000GB disk. The hard disks are pretty new SATA II drives and are approx. half full. Each drive is connected as master to the motherboard. I have set a simple clone disk-to-disk and get a speed of 140 MB/min, e.g. the cloning would take days and not hours.
I have searched in the forum and read about speeds of 200 MB/min to 800 MB/min, 500 MB/min to 2 GB/min, depending on the hardware. What am I doing wrong? I am using the Ubuntu based Clonezilla, because this is the one that boots in my PC.
Thank you very much in advance for any hint!

OK. Please wait for another karmic (ubuntu 9.10) based Clonezilla live or the updated testing Clonezilla live. I think maybe it will work there.
Or did you try the failsafe mode of stable Clonezilla live ? Does it work there ?

Thanks, I'm trying the alternative version. I noticed upon attempting to restart the version I had that the status bar and all that got knocked out of the way by what looked like a file by file count of everything being copied, at the rate of about one file per second, if that fast. It just kept scrolling up the screen, instead of giving me a status bar to tell me how much longer to go. I'll let you know how it goes.

I am using the alternative clonezilla-live-20090812-jaunty, which is the only one that boots on my desktop computer (see my other thread at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3362967&forum_id=394751\). I just posted here because I thought this speed/performance issue was better suited for this thread.
I really liked Clonezilla and I would like to dump Acronis True Image (which messed up my partition table). Acronis True Image needs approx. 4-5 hours to clone my 1000GB hard disk. Since I trust Clonezilla to do a perfect clone, I would accept that it takes (much) longer than Acronis. But having the desktop busy for several days is, unfortunately, not feasible.
If there is anything I could try, please let me know! Thank you!

The failsafe mode of stable Clonezilla live did not boot on my desktop, the only version that boots is the Ubuntu-based Jaunty version. I will wait for the next version based on Karmic and hope it will be faster. I will report here whether this is the case.
Thank you very much for your interest and all your efforts regarding Clonezilla!

Maybe the problem is on the kernel/hardware issue. Did you try stable or testing Clonezilla live?
They come with different kernels.
Steven.
