    CloneZilla Alternative Stable latest
    SSD Hard drive with LinuxMINT 17.2 Cinnamon 64bit
    The machine boots and runs its OS with no problems.

    During startup, I get this: overlayfs: missing 'workdir
    The machine HANGS there. In fact, since switching to LinuxMINT about a week ago, I've not had ANY luck with Clonezilla operating properly. I suspect this may be happening to many others. I CAN give you feedback as needed to further explore the problem. Just tell me what you want and I'll do my best to give you said info in quickly.

    "missing 'workdir" is when live-boot to use overlayfs to mount the filesystem.squashfs as root directory. If it hangs, looks like the linux kernel does not support your hardware well. You can try to use the latest testing Clonezilla live, like 2.4.5-3 or 20151207-wily:
    http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
    They come with newer linux kernel so it might help.

    Steven.
