I'm trying to restore from a clonezilla image, but it can't identify the image. It only gives me the option to create a new image.
So, just to try to get to the data, I have been trying to extract the img using partclone, but I get a CRC error at about 9%. The files are split at 2GB, and there are around 12.
Can I repair the files? if I add --ignore_crc to the partclone.restore command, I get what is seemingly an endless page-fill of "read CRC error: No such file or directory, please check your image file".
Command I'm using for partclone (after many attempts):
cat sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.* | gzip -d -c | sudo partclone.restore -W -O sda1.img -F -I --ignore_crc -C -L partclone.log
Thanks in advance!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I checked the image that was copied and there is a file called parts and it contains sda1, sda2 etc.
I am not sure if it is CRC error as it doesn't say as such - just gets stuck loading the swap file.
I am not sure if it is relevant, but the physical box is a raid setup, with four HDD as one (raid 6) with a total capacity of 4TB. The Linux installation however, only uses about 290GB all up. The new VM I made 4TB.
I think the clue might be in the way I am copying the original image - maybe I need more 'switches' ??

Your image is not complete.
It should exist the txt file:
'parts' # with: sda1 sda2 ..
or
'disk' # with: sda
If it's only CRC error, you could try to enter expert mode, and check "-icrc" option:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image/advanced/09-advanced-param.php
It will force to ignore the CRC checking.

@hepkat63,
So what's the error message there?
