Log1 - Below
I see data restored but the system comes up without a partition table.
https://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/88_mbr_related_options.faq#88_mbr_related_options.faq
-k (default: checked for restoredisk, and unchecked for restoreparts): "Do NOT create a partition table on the target disk" By default Clonezilla will create the partition table in the destination disk. If a partition table exists on the destination disk, and you do not want Clonezilla to overwrite it, you can check this option.
The way I read the -k option as Don't create a partition table... but I dont read it as wipe one out if it exists.
How do I restore the partition table without loosing any data given the scenario mentioned above ?
Do I want to log something like -j1?
-j1 (default: unchecked): "Write MBR (512 B) again after image is restored. Not OK for partition table differ from that of the image" In some cases, sfdisk uses different CHS values to create the partition table (due to different kernels have different CHS values of hard drive), and it will make the restore OS fail to boot. With this option checked, a command:
ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -j2 -scr -p reboot restoreparts $someimage sda1 sda3
The data is restored but /dev/sda2 has no file system and thus there's no persistent data.
Thanks in advance,

If the destination disk has partitions, when you use the option "-k" for ocs-sr, it should honor the partition table of your destination disk, then just use the existing partitions.
Normally it won't wipe other partitions, unless there are some bugs...

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think I've made a little more progress but I think the issue now is that I'm trying to restore a partition to a system that the partition didn't come from.
I think if I were able to change the UUID of /dev/sda3 in this case I might stand a chance. Is that option available ?
To give you a little more context we make the image from 1 golden system and deploy it to many others. Historically we have used the entire disk but I think it would be helpful to save one partition with log data for example yet still upgrade the system using clonezilla.
Thanks again,
Andrew

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The log you showed we can see that /dev/sda1 was restored successfully. However, the error is about the LVM device with the specific UUID. Maybe it's about some device other than /dev/sda1? When /dev/sda1 is restored successfully, definitely the original UUID would be restored, too.

Hi,
We are using clonezilla and I think it works well, thanks.
We have been making a golden system and then restoring that same image to other machines and then changing the hostname etc with ocs_postrun.
If I restore an entire disk everything works great.
However we want to save a partition for persistent data, I want to save sda2.
I have tried running
Log1 - Below
I see data restored but the system comes up without a partition table.
https://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/88_mbr_related_options.faq#88_mbr_related_options.faq
-k (default: checked for restoredisk, and unchecked for restoreparts): "Do NOT create a partition table on the target disk" By default Clonezilla will create the partition table in the destination disk. If a partition table exists on the destination disk, and you do not want Clonezilla to overwrite it, you can check this option.
The way I read the -k option as Don't create a partition table... but I dont read it as wipe one out if it exists.
How do I restore the partition table without loosing any data given the scenario mentioned above ?
Do I want to log something like -j1?
-j1 (default: unchecked): "Write MBR (512 B) again after image is restored. Not OK for partition table differ from that of the image" In some cases, sfdisk uses different CHS values to create the partition table (due to different kernels have different CHS values of hard drive), and it will make the restore OS fail to boot. With this option checked, a command:
dd if=$IMAGE_DIR/$HARDDRIVE-mbr of=/dev/$HARDDRIVE bs=446 count=1
If I run
The data is restored but /dev/sda2 has no file system and thus there's no persistent data.
Thanks in advance,

If the destination disk has partitions, when you use the option "-k" for ocs-sr, it should honor the partition table of your destination disk, then just use the existing partitions.
Normally it won't wipe other partitions, unless there are some bugs...

Thanks for the reply Stephen.
I think I've made a little more progress but I think the issue now is that I'm trying to restore a partition to a system that the partition didn't come from.
I think if I were able to change the UUID of /dev/sda3 in this case I might stand a chance. Is that option available ?
To give you a little more context we make the image from 1 golden system and deploy it to many others. Historically we have used the entire disk but I think it would be helpful to save one partition with log data for example yet still upgrade the system using clonezilla.
Thanks again,
Andrew
The log you showed we can see that /dev/sda1 was restored successfully. However, the error is about the LVM device with the specific UUID. Maybe it's about some device other than /dev/sda1? When /dev/sda1 is restored successfully, definitely the original UUID would be restored, too.
