Linux Kernel supports Windows Dynamic Disk-style partition tables as LDM. So Clonezilla can natively clone those disks/partitions. But can't restore them because of the missing meta-data at the end of the disk. After creating the partition table with the Dynamic Disk-type partitions, the Linux kernel can't read the partition table because of the missing meta-data. So the expected partitions don't appear to CloneZilla and the Clone process fails.
I don't know how LDM works and what with complex dynamic disks consisting of multiple slices with striping and so.. But at least the simple Standard-disks converted to Dynamic Discs should work with CloneZilla as it is recognised by the Kernel and cloned without warning by CloneZilla.
