    Hi All,
    I'd like to ask if anyone has encountered this error trying to clone a working drive to an image with Partclone.
    Save Disk To Image > Basic
    Error - Invalid Argument

    Cloning using dd has worked, but restoring the image to another SSD results in a very long time even on another SSD (approx 2-3 hours).

    Details:
    Clonezilla Version - 2.6.7-28-amd64
    Partclone Version - 0.3.14

    Source Disk Details:
    OS Installed Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS; Desktop's Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is on, but I think this was installed via UEFI
    Probably 200+GB Free Space
    Samsung 850 EVO 250GB

    Target Disk Details (Image Repository)
    I have tried the following, but same issue persists:
    120GB Flash Drive
    4TB External USB formatted in NTFS

    Would there be any workaround to this? Can I provide any other information to help troubleshoot this?

    Thank you very much!

    Edit: Apologies, this was supposed to be in the Clonezilla Live section, but the anti spam triggered when I was posting and reset the location of the thread, which I failed to notice... :/

    Please take a photo about the whole messages on the screen then post it. It's easier for us to understand the whole process.
    BTW, please also give testing Clonezilla live a try if you can, e.g., 2.7.0-3 or 20201016-groovy.
    //NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.
