Re: [Clonezilla-live] Success in my first attempt with CloneZilla

[John O. <jo...@gm...>]

Steven,

It is reproducible. I got the exact same error message (except as
grub2-sh-yOloXz) in cloning the operating system drive in my second mythtv
backend box. Both machines use the same 64 bit Koala install on ASUS M2A-VM
HDMI mobos with Seagate drives. What seems unusual to me is that both
machines had had separate boot partitions at one time, which had been
combined into one ext4 primary partition during the Koala install, when I
used automatic partitioning in both cases.

The harddrive size increased in both machines during the Clonezilla disk
cloning, from Seagate 400GB drives up to 500 in the first case and 750 in
the second. In both cases, the swap space appears as the sole item in the
extended partition with ~100GB/~350GB of unallocated space thereafter. I
used GPartEd to shift the extended partition (and swap) to the end of the
drive and expand the primary partition to ~690+GBs on the second machine. I
have not altered the 500GB primary cloned drive yet.

Please let me know if I can provide you with any more information. I have
been looking for grub2 howtos on the web. The sheer volume of conflicting
material is off-putting. More power to you in providing such a helpful
product.

John
