    Hello.
    I have tried to make Live CD (Linux Mint 18.2 Cinammon Live CD) with
    Clonezilla and VNC. So I make my "own" Live CD. After all when I try to
    make with this Live CD image of phisical machine's disk (160 GB) on the
    last step with Partclone I have error "Checking the disk space ....
    Failed to use partclone program to save or restore an image. Press Enter
    to continue....". When I make the same steps on virtual machine (Hyper
    V, 20 GB disk) everything is ok. When I try to make image of this
    phisical machine with Clonezilla Live: stable - 2.5.2-31 everything is
    ok, no errors.

    I do some tests also on "clear" Linux Mint 18.2 Cinammon Live CD booted
    from USB stick. My steps:

    1. Booting phisical machine from Linux Mint 18.2 Cinammon Live CD from
      USB stick
    2. Adding drbl repo:
      wget -q http://drbl.org/GPG-KEY-DRBL -O- | sudo apt-key add -
      insert to /etc/apt/sources.list : deb http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core
      drbl stable
    3. Installation
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install clonezilla

    After this I have:
    ipcalc 0.41-5
    partimage 0.6.8-2.2.ubuntu1
    udpcast 20120424-1ubuntu1
    wakeonlan 0.41-11
    drbl 2.25.11-drbl1
    partclone 0.2.91-drbl1
    clonezilla 3.27.20-drbl1

    With this steps I can't make image of phisical machine. I have tried on
    two different machines. Source disk is smaller than local (usb)
    destination disk. I have tried booting this from USB Stick and from CD/DVD.
    The same with Linux Mint 18.3.
    I have tried also with newest versions of Debian and Ubuntu.

    Could you tell me what I do wrong? Maybe I have to install something
    more or try with another versions of packages ?

    Thanks.

    Are you able to run partclone command directly? That will give you more info why it fails. Or you can check "/var/log/clonezilla.log" if you run Clonezilla.
