i've shrunk the actual used space on the source 500gb to about 20gb - the rest is unused unformatted nothingness
when i try to clone i get this error when i get up to cloning /dev/sdb2
"partclone fail
bitmap free cont err, free (blah some number)"
there's about 7 paritions on the source drive. I'm not sure what types of file systems they all are and I don't know if clonezilla has a problem with ext4 either.
eitherway i'd like to know how to get around this if it's possible.

Try to use partition to partition clone, and remember to create the partition table on the destination disk before you start Clonezilla.

I probably should have tried it that way but was afraid of the time it could take if any errors are made (there were 7 different partitions) so we've gone just to reinstall the OS.
Should i fill out a bug for this error? will it be fixed in upcoming releases?

I have a similar error while saving an ext4 partition. But, if I save the whole disk that includes this partition, it is ok. Clonezilla-live version 1.2.3-27

Could you please show your steps to reproduce the problem in details? It's easier for us to see why and fix the problem.
BTW, please also run /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-live-bug-report and post the created file.

I found that failure is due to the following partitioning problem:
$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
After deleting /dev/sda2 partition with GParted, I can now save successfully the /dev/sda5 partition. It looks as if GParted has corrected the partition table:

Thank you for the answer,

I inherit the laptop from a colleague of mine. This laptop ran XP. Then I replaced with Win7. I would suppose that /dev/sda2 is originally a recover or service partition.

Yes, I believe so. What I am curious is about the file system on that partition… I'd like to make sure if it's a supported file system by partclone, but partclone fails to save it… If so, definitely we have to fix it.

Actually this is not a bug, it's a feature request :)
Maybe we will have this feature someday…

Do you have any idea what's the file system for

?

I have a Dell Poweredge 1850 with a 73GB drive with 16GB in use. I am using clonezilla live 1.2.4-28-686. I am trying to do a device-image to savedisk and getting the same error "bitmap free count err, free:13323052" I tried saving over SSH and to local USB.
Forgot to mention the OS is CentOS 5.3 using ext3 filesystem
Enter expert mode, and check the option "-fsck-src-part".
Or give testing Clonezilla live 1.2.5-15 a try.
Steven.
Can you tell me what will this determine if I run in Enter expert mode, and check the option "-fsck-src-part"
It will run fsck to check and repair the integrity of file system before saving it as an image.
Steven.
