[Clonezilla-live] bug in clonezilla...

[<jd...@do...>]

Hello,
My first post on this list, forgive me if I write about things you 
already know :-(.

I was just hit two days ago by a bug. Probably a bug related to btrfs on 
openSUSE Tumbleweed. The result was empty files on the target making in 
unusable.

Details: I wanted to clone a presently in  use sata 480Go ssd in an asus 
N550jk computer (intel i7) to an nvme 512Go disk aimed to an asus tuf 
706iu (amd rysen) computer. Many partitions on it. nvme in an usb3 nvme 
dock.

Clonezilla-live-3.0.2-21-amd64.iso on a Ventoy usb pen.

no error message at the end of the clone, done mostly with default 
options. None of the two openSUSE install on the disk could boot, when 
Windows 10 boot correctly.

At first I suspected an UID/fstab problem, but in the end I could see a 
lot of system files have quotation marks in ls -l result.

Once a fresh Tumbleweed install done on the (obsolete) openSUSE Leap 
15.3 partition, I noticed that these system files on the root of faulty 
Tumbleweed where zero length files.

I suspect the problem come from btrfs snapshot/subvols management, the 
link between updated and non updated files is broken.

Old ssd partition and faulty Tumbleweed partition are still available 
for check is necessary (some files where changed in the way of trying to 
boot the system)

sincerely
jdd
