[Clonezilla-live] "bitmap free count err" on Intel Mac

[Richard T. <ric...@gm...>]

I made a live CD with clonezilla-live 1.2.2-14 and attempted to image
the disk of an iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz with 2GB of RAM running
OS X 10.5.6).

Imaging fails on the HFS+ partition with this error:

"bitmap free count err, free:75837643"

I see this has been discussed on this list before. One person solved
his problem by completely reformatting the drive, which I really don't
want to do as this is a production machine in a lab.

Here is the result of cat /proc/partitions

major minor  #blocks  name

   8        0  312571224 sda
   8        1     204800 sda1
   8        2  312235312 sda2
   7        0      89004 loop0
   8       16  488386584 sdb

   8       32    1003336 sdc
   8       33    1003275 sdc1

(sda is the internal iMac drive, sdb is a 500GB external usb drive
formatted with an xfs filesystem and sdc is a flash drive)

Here is the result of parted -s /dev/sda print
