    cj0 - 2018-07-28

    I am trying to ethernet clone an uEFI systemd-boot (f.k.a. gummiboot) Arch Linux installation on a USB thumb drive to a new computer its NVMe drive. That NVMe drive already contains some partitions from an earlier cone attempt. Both source and destination drives are GPT partitioned. The partitions contain both FAT32 and btrfs file system. I have created 2 new USB sticks with archlinux-2018.07.01-x86_64.iso. First the source system is uEFI booted into that Arch Linux live OS. And Clonezilla expert selections were made like: "/usr/bin/ocs-onthefly -iefi -fsck -pa choose -a -f sdb". That source doesn't signal any error.

    Then the destination system was booted, clonezilla started and remote-dest chosen. The output is like below:

    # clonezilla
Clonezilla mode is remote-dest

    The issue seems to be the source, that pauses after "Collecting info... done!" and line "**." Sending a break (Ctrl+c) outputs: No file system was found in /dev/1! Skip fsck.

    When removed fsck, like "/usr/bin/ocs-onthefly -iefi -pa choose -a -f sdb" the commands runs without a pause up to "Waiting for the target machine to connect..."

    The result when including option flag -fsck:

    # /usr/bin/ocs-onthefly -iefi -fsck -pa choose -a -f sdb                                                     :(

    Seems that the fsck logic is somewhat off.

    Additionally when skipping fsck and ocs-on-the-fly comes to "Waiting for the target machine to connect..." that still fails the remote-dest from restoring:

    If I remember correctly, ocs-onthefly does not support multipath device, like /dev/cciss/c0d0.
    Newer Linux kernel seems to use /dev/sda for /dev/cciss/c0d0, so maybe you can give Clonezilla live 2.5.6-22 or 20180812-bionic a try:
