Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla / Partclone ext4 problem

[Andreas W. <and...@nt...>]

I restore the image to a file and the partition holding the file is
large enough to hold the restored partition. I can try it again omitting
the -C option of partclone.restore but I am quite sure that it won't
make a difference.

By the way: partclone.restore is v0.2.14 and partclone.extfs is the
version included in clonezilla live 1.2.5-35.

Regards,
Andreas
