Hello. I was wondering if someone could help with this question and whether or not Clonezilla, or any software, can solve this problem.
We have a 4GB USB flash drive that is 3920M in size and has 3 partitions on it. They are formatted with ext2 and the drive is used to boot a Linux OS for a piece of machinery.
We are trying to clone the drive to another 4GB SLC flash drive that is 3782M in size. We are trying to do this with the Startech USB duplicator but it won't do it because of the size difference.
Is this something that Clonezilla can manage? Can it copy over the partitions and the files and resize the last partition to make it work?
Thank you for any help you can give.
