Hello, I want to create images from a complete hd with clonezilla live.
The box has a ext3 / partition a swap drive and a data partition which is encrypted using the dm-crypt module.

I expected clonezilla to treat the crypted drive as raw or unknown and simply use dd for image creation but
instead it returns "Error reading bitmap" and leaves me with a unusable image.

Is there a way I can fix this besides manually using dd?

  Yes, you can try this version:
  http://opensource.nchc.org.tw/clonezilla-live/experimental/clonezilla-live-1.0.8-2.iso
  In this version, you will have a chance to select "-q1" to force clonezilla to use dd to save all the partitions.
