    hi all,

    sorry if this topic has been covered many times (probably!), but could
    not find the answer I'm looking for.

    I used CloneZilla to clone a full RAID1 system (to an image file).
    When restoring, it completes but says:

    """Found grub partition (/dev/sda1) file system is ext4! The grub 1 from Debian Linux does not support file system ext4! Skip re-installing grub-1. The restored OS might fail to boot."""

    indeed, the OS won't boot (no bootable partition found).
    How should I solve this problem ?

    target OS is Centos 6.x on a DELL RAID1 PERC700.
    Clonezilla is 2.2.0-16

    thanks

    Tom

      Replying to myself.

      found this:

      maybe a part of explanation of my problem.
      still, is there a way to recover the grub without
      redoing the whole image again ?

      any suggestion welcome

    Did you try Clonezilla live 20131029-saucy?
    The grub from Ubuntu was patched to work with ext4.

    Steven.
