Re: [Clonezilla-live] clonezilla live sees my flash as sd

[Montaseri <mon...@gm...>]

Hi Les,

No LVM....this is an embedded device/appliance (I am cloning), a flash drive
contains /boot and / (root). Here is the fdisk and dmesg

[root@meditest ]# dmesg | grep hda
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0x30b0-0x30b7, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:DMA
hda: PQI IDE DiskOnModule, ATA DISK drive
hda: max request size: 128KiB
hda: 2047248 sectors (1048 MB) w/0KiB Cache, CHS=2031/16/63, DMA
hda: cache flushes not supported
 hda: hda1 hda2
EXT3 FS on hda2, internal journal
EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal
[root@meditest]# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 1048 MB, 1048190976 bytes
32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1015 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1         131      132047+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2             132        1015      891072   83  Linux

Do you know of any tool that can read the superblock to examine the FS type.
While in clonezilla
