    Hi: I'm just wondering if there's a known limitation in CloneZilla where there cannot be more than 9 partitions inside a disk image?

    I created an image of an OpenBSD machine which doesn't have 10 partitions, but because the first one is quite often actually the 4th partition (it's an OpenBSD thing), and there are six others. I was able to create a disk image of this machine without problem, but when I was restoring the disk image it failed with the message: "Cannot find the target partition: sda10".

    Thanks....

    "if there's a known limitation in CloneZilla where there cannot be more than 9 partitions inside a disk image?" -> Not really.
    However, you mentioned about OpenBSD... in that case, it's slices and partitions in BSD system. Maybe sfdisk or Linux kernel does not detect your partitions well. Could you run:
    cat /proc/partitions
    then post the results?
    Thanks.

    Steven.
